Healthy Food
Our eating habits affect our health. What happens if I have no breakfast, or poor breakfast? I shall be tired or cross, and, of course, hungry till having lunch.
There is a ring of truth in a well-known saying: «A man is what he eats.» Food is a form of fuel. Different foods do different things for the body. Some foods are better than others in helping to keep bones, teeth, skin, and blood healthy, Among these foods are fruit, vegetables, milk, and cheese. People say that fish is good for brain, and carrots are good for eyes. Another saying is: «An apple a day keeps the doctor away», - meaning that you will be healthy if you eat an apple every day.
There are so many kinds of food - fast food, snacks, junk food - that it may be difficult to follow a healthy diet. In the past, sailors who went on long sea voyages did not get fresh food and often suffered from a disease called scurvy. Scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin C, which we can find in fruit and vegetables.
In this country, bread is an important part of our everyday food. When we sit down for a meal, there is always bread on the table. For breakfast we have bread with a meat or vegetable dish. Again at dinner we eat bread with whatever food there is on the table. When there is rice or potatoes, we have bread, too. The Russian cuisine is not only famous for bread, but for stuffed cabbage leaves (golubtsi), soups like borsch, and lovely salads.
Nowadays there exists a popular trend to eat low-fat and low-cholesterol foods. So fruit juices, cereal mixes and vegetables are becoming more and more popular.

New Developments in Science Fiction
Cyberpunk, despite its apparent «indefinableness», soon became a favourite genre for a postmodern generation who could not get rid of the humanist notion of «Man» as the center of creation—whence the allure of the smart hacker protagonist who manages to defeat the system—even as they realized that man and the social systems created by and for him are destroying the planet and, consequently, all possibilities for the survival of the human race. Other readers will perceive in cyberpunk a deconstructive attack that its creators tried to carry out against the traditional values of the old master narratives. In this way, feminism, the instability, or class and race issues become aspects frequently analyzed by critics of cyberpunk. However, it is our belief that the genre also stands at the cross-roads where typical SF stories full of humanist modernism intersect with a more gloomy perception of the world and based on an awareness of the destructive power of the human being. The genre has become a bridge between old hu¬manist beliefs in a perfect creation and the new postmodern understanding of the world as a much more desolate place to live in.
