    They can reach 2 meters in length, eat a little bit of

everything and are essential for the conservation of what

is left of their habitat, the Atlantic Rainforest. We are

referring to the caiman alligator.

[5]     With the destruction of the natural environment, like

other species, the crocodilian reptile’s existence is being

threatened, and hunting is one of the culprits behind

their endangerment, according to the analysis of

conservationist Yhuri Nóbrega, from Project Caiman. “It’s

[10] a difficult issue to approach because it is cultural. At any

of our activities or lectures, we see that people have either

already tried crocodile meat or know someone who has,”

he says.

    “In the interior of Bahia, especially near the São

[15] Francisco River, the meat is known as ‘the cod of the

river,’ because it is salted for preservation, and because

of the way in which it is commercialized,” explains

Luciano Verdade, a professor at USP and one of the

leading crocodile experts in Brazil. In the case of the

[20] Caiman latirostris (the caiman’s scientific name), the

issue is that the species generates economic interest,

both for its skin and its meat.

    In what remained of the Atlantic Forest, there is

little space for the small communities, especially during

[25] the dry season. It is not difficult to find the crocodiles

outside of their natural environment. It is not unusual to

find them in settling ponds, near pig farming or breeding

pastures.

    “Something similar occurs in the wetlands

[30] (Pantanal), but through a natural process. During the dry

season, the pond is reduced, creating a reserve of

bacteria that comes in contact with the crocodiles,” says

the professor. That contamination adds weight to the claim

that consuming crocodile meat from an unknown source

[35] may not be a good idea.

TEXTO:

    Research has shown that the different nutrition

labels on food are confusing. Thus, the British government

is proposing to use front-of-pack label and ‘traffic light’

colors to signal the nutritional value of processed food

[5] items.

    The new labeling system aims to make it easier

for people to make healthier choices, by comparing

the same kinds of foods to see if there is a healthier

option. Color-coded nutritional information tells you at a

[10] glance if the food has high, medium or low amounts of

fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt: red means high, amber

means medium and green means low.

    As part of the government’s efforts to improve health

through reducing obesity levels, the Department of Health

[15] is working with food manufacturers and supermarkets

through a program called the Responsibility Deal. This

program aims to get business to reduce the amount of

calories, salt and saturated fat in foods. The standardized

front-of-pack label is a new Responsibility Deal pledge

[20] that food and drink companies can sign up to.

    Public Health Minister, Anna Soubry, said: “The UK

already has the largest number of products using a frontof-

pack label in Europe, but we know that people get

confused by the variety of labels that are used. Research

[25] shows that, of all the current schemes, people like this

label the most and they can use the information to make

healthier choices. “We all have a responsibility to tackle

the challenge of obesity, including the food industry. By

having all major retailers and manufacturers signed up to

[30] the consistent label, we will all be able to see at a glance

what is in our food — this is why I want to see more

manufacturers signing up and using the label.”

    The labels are not designed to ‘demonize’ foods

with lots of reds, but to have people consider what they

[35] are eating and make sure it’s part of a balanced

diet. Making small changes to people’s diet can have a

positive impact on their health and could stop people

getting serious illnesses — such as heart disease —

later in life.
