What conclusion might the speaker make about her diet?
It is not always very healthy.
It does not include enough grains.
It mainly consists of meat.
It mainly consists of fresh foods.
When it comes to food, I like anything salty especially salty and crunchy, and greasy.
That makes it really good. A lot of people like sweets, like, donuts and cakes, but I don't like sweet food too much.
I like popcorn the best, and I like meat a lot. Even though I know it's not good for you.
I could eat fried chicken, just tons of fried chicken, or, beef, rare beef dripping with blood and salt all over it. I could_ but it gives me a stomach ache, but I like to eat it.
And the most unusual meat I ever ate was, uh, buffalo meat, and it was really good and it's very light too.
So, I also like to eat whole grains like, uh, rice and, bread whole-wheat bread that's just real_ uh, interesting texture to it.

So that's another thing I like to eat. I don't like fruit very much, but I make myself eat it sometimes to be healthy.
Like grapes sometimes I'll eat, or a banana, or sometimes an orange or cherries.
But my favorite vegetables are broccoli, and, cabbage I like, and I like kale, and I like, collard greens.
But they take a long time to cook. You have to cook them for about a hour to get em right. Um, what else do I like. Tomatoes.
The best thing is a fresh tomato right off the vine. When you eat when it's still warm. It's so different from any kind of tomato you could buy in the grocery store. So that's another good thing.
And, um... I think that's about it.
