  • Hello, this is Six Minute English, I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Sam.

  • Sam, have you considered the future of food much?

  • Well, I think in the future I might have a sandwich in about 30 minutes in the future.

  • Not quite what I meant.

  • With the population of the world increasing,

  • along with the negative effects of climate change and other global issues,

  • we might have to radically change our diets in the future.

  • Ah, yes, I have heard about this.

  • There are all sorts of developments from growing artificial meat to developing insect-based foods.

  • Hmm, tasty.

  • Well, we'll look a little more at this topic shortly,

  • but we start as ever with a question.

  • And it's a food-based question.

  • In which continent did tomatoes originate?

  • Is it A, South America, B, Africa or C Asia?

  • What do you think, Sam?

  • No idea.
