Cold Truths

课文标题语带双关，“Cold Truths”原意是“冰冷的事实”，结合课文内容，可将标题理解为冰箱里冷冰冰的食物所反映出的真实生活方式。进一步拓展思维，也可以认为课文中展示的不良饮食习惯和生活方式终将影响人们的身体健康，这也是一个残酷的事实。因此这篇课文的意义在于呼吁人们形成良好的饮食和生活习惯。

本单元的标题“food for thought”也是双关语。food for thought是一个习语，本意指的是 “something that should be thought about or considered carefully”,意指“需要认真考虑的事情”。恰好，本单元主题是多元饮食文化和健康的饮食习惯，谈到了食物“food”，一语双关，意指我们应该认真对待自己摄入的食物。
