话题分析：

本题是政府类话题，题型是双边讨论型，是2014年7月19日的旧题翻版。其实作文练习的时候，多做2014年下半年和2015年上半年的真题，这样考试时遇到原题的几率会大大增加。

有些人认为政府应该担负更多责任，有些人则觉得饮食问题应该由个人负责。所以，本题其实就是一个“政府负责还是个人负责”的观点对立。但这并不是一个非此即彼的对立，我们完全可以认为政府应该担负责任，比如在制订食品健康政策，监督食品安全等方面，同时个人也应该担负责任，比如购买新鲜的食品，避免食用不利于健康的食品，根据自己的身体状况选择合适的食品等。因此，在饮食健康方面，政府和个人都应担负各自的责任，很难说哪个应该担负更多责任。

参考范文：

A healthy diet is an extremely important part of our life. Now the question is: Who should take more responsibilities for our healthy diet? As diet is both a public affairand a personal choice, I would suggest that the government and individuals have equal share of responsibilities for a healthy diet.

Yet, rather than simply a personal issue, food is always also a social issue in terms of its production, distribution and consumption. In this sense, the government has a significant role to play in making sure that food on its citizens’ table is healthy. On the one hand, the government should make strict laws and regulations to ensure the quality of food produced and sold in market. On the other hand, the government should also avail of every opportunity to educate its citizens about the types of food they should eat to stay healthy.

Many people might argue that what to eat is a matter of personal preference, so it is people themselves who should try to make sure what they eat is healthy. In the supermarket, for instance, people should purchase fresh food and fruits and avoid buying expired food no matter how cheap it might be. When they dine out in restaurants, they should choose those that provide clean and healthy food rather than those that sell cheap food. Furthermore, if one is overweight, he/she could choose to avoid eating high calories food like bananas, chocolates, and sea food. Anyway, this line of thought would think that individuals are fully responsible for eating food that is healthy to their health.

To sum up, in order for our food to be healthy, both individuals and the government have their share of, though different, responsibilities. A healthy diet would only be possible with the efforts made by both individuals and the government.
