Junk Food and Health


Junk food includes candy, potato chips, and cookies. Eating this type of
food too much is like eating poison. Today, it is common for kids to weigh too
much and be less fit than children in the past. That is because their diets are
worse than they used to be. This is a serious problem. Evidence shows that
5 bad diets can cause diseases that have no cure now.
What can we do? We can reduce the amount of soda we drink. Soda is
mostly sugar. It does not supply our bodies with anything
necessary. We should also limit snacks like potato
chips. You can eat a bit of junk food sometimes. Just
io do not eat it every day! Schools can help, too. Some US
schools have stopped the sale of soda at lunch. Do
you have any other ideas?

10 a lot. We throw things away rather than recycle them.
Our task is to protect the earth immediately. We
need to be more responsible, or we will all be in trouble.
