THE RSPCA

Most countries in the world have got organisations to protect and take care of animals, but the first animal protection society was founded in the nineteenth century in England.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) was started in 1824 in London. In those days, the SPCA was unusual because many people thought it was strange to care about animals. Two years earlier, in 1922, the Houses of Parliament passed a law prohibiting cruelty to cattle, horses and sheep. Because of the new law and the SPCA, people began to change their ideas about the way they should treat animals. In 1840, Queen Victoria gave her support to the SPCA. She changed the name of the SPCA to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).

Today, there are nearly 200 branches of the society in England and Wales, as well as similar organisations in Scotland, Australia, South Africa and the USA. Every 20 seconds someone contacts the RSPCA with a question about animals. The RSPCA prepares educational material for schools and looks after abused animals. RSPCA inspectors check circuses and zoos to make sure the animals are treated properly. The RSPCA's goal is to improve the lives of animals around the world.

THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED

When our body digests food, the nutrients go to all parts of the body. These nutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fats and water.

Every type of food contains different nutrients, so it's important to eat a healthy and varied diet.

.Proteins help us grow and repair our body. We find them in meat, fish, milk, eggs and legumes

Carbohydrates include starches and sugar and give us energy. They are found in bread, potatoes and rice.

Vitamins and minerals in vegetables and fruit help us to grow and keep our body healthy because they protectc us from many illnesses.

Fats give us energy. There are two types of taf: animal fats in eggs, butter, fish and meat, and vegetable fats in olives and nuts.

Water is also essential for our body because blood is mostly water. Water dissolves the nutrients and takes them to all parts of our body. Although humans can survive for an extended period without food, we can only survive for about three days without water.

1. Proteins help us grow and repair our body.

2. Vitamins and minerals help us grow and keep us healthy.

3. Carbohydrates give us energy.

4. Water transports nutrients around our body.

Milk, toast, salad, water, vegetables, fruit, fish or meat. I think is a good healthy diet.
