What is it about Americans and food? We love to eat, but we feel【S1】______about it afterward. We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food.

It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political【S6】______.
But strong opinions have not brought【S7】______Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths. We have become【S8】______of our foods, especially as we learn more about what they contain.
