A guest speaker was addressing the faculty and the students in the college auditorium. I had joined the faculty the year before, and was already drawing attention. I was 27, full of assumptions about myself, quick with a comment on everything, and expected people to pay attention to all that I had said.
I listened to the talk for the first five minutes. By the seventh, I was looking around to check if others were listening. By the tenth, I had glanced at my watch three times, and yawned once. After twenty minutes I was thoroughly bored, and telling myself that it was difficult to sit through such an insipid talk. I wanted to share some of my expert comments with my neighbour. But he was completely sold out to the speaker, and looked like it was the greatest day of his life. I was disgusted. I tried to catch a word or phrase from the talk, only to convince myself that this should be his last talk ever.
The one–hour talk took ages to end, and before the thanks were said, My neighbour smiled at me and said, “The talk was wonderful, wasn’t it?” I retorted, “It almost killed me with kindness”.

It's nothing short of a revolution in how we eat, and it's getting closer every day. Yes, a lot of people are obese, and yes, the definition of “healthy eating” seems to change all the time. But in labs and research centers around the world, scientists are racing to match our genes and our taste buds, creating the perfect diet for each of us, a diet that will fight disease, increase longevity, boost physical and mental performance, and taste great to boot. As food scientist J. Bruce German says, “The foods we like the most will be the most healthy for us.”
Is that going to be a great day, or what?
All this will come to pass, thanks to genomics, the science that maps and describes an individual’s genetic code. In the future, personalized DNA chips will allow us to assess our own inherited predispositions for certain diseases, then adjust our diets accordingly. So, if you're at risk for heart disease, you won’t just go on a generic low–fat diet. You’ll eat foods with just the right amount and type of fat that’s best for you. You'll even be able to track your metabolism day–to–day to determine what foods you should eat at any given time, for any given activity. “Since people differ in their genetics and metabolism, one diet won’t fit all,” says German. As complex as all this sounds, it could turn out to be relatively simple.
Q11. What are scientists doing?
(a) Racing in labs and research centers around the world
(b) Asking us to start dieting
(c) Creating the perfect diet for us
(d) Try and make us taller
Q12. What does J. Bruce German say?
(a) The food we like is not healthy for us
(b) The foods we like the most will be the most healthy for us
(c) The most healthy food should be liked by us
(d) Food scientists like healthy food
Q13. What is genomics?
(a) The science which describes about maps
(b) The science which describes an individual
(c) The science which deals with years
(d) The science that maps and describes an individual’s genetic code
Q14. Why won't a common diet fit everybody?
(a) Because different people eat different food
(b) Because their genes are different
(c) Since they differ in genetics and metabolism
(d) Because of their different moods
Q15. What will be possible in the future?
(a) Personalized DNA chips for people to assess their own inherited predispositions
(b) You are at great risk for heart disease
(c) You will not be able to determine what food you should eat
(d) You will be unable to adjust your diet
