### In the lessons

In health and food lessons «dietary fibre» helps digestion, and «dietary needs» or «dietary requirements» are what a person can or cannot eat, such as vegetarian, halal, kosher, or allergy-free. Schools and parties ask about dietary requirements so everyone is safe. Phrases: «dietary fibre», «dietary needs», «dietary requirements», «dietary advice», «dietary supplement».
