Pupils' Response 11 - Healthy Eating

To stay healthy, we must eat healthy food like salads, fish, fruits and vegetables, such as vegetable salads, fruit salads, steamed fish, cabbages and oranges. If you eat things like ice-cream and sweets, you may get sick and may also get tooth decay. So in order not get sick so often, you must not eat too much ice-cream or sweets. Some diseases you can get eating unhealthy food are "Hand-Foot-And-Mouth Disease", "Food Poisoning", "Stomach Flu" and "Mad Cow Disease".

If you eat healthy food, you will not get sick so often and you will not get diseases like those I mentioned earlier. I like to eat fruits but I don't really like to eat vegetables because fruits are sweet but vegetables have no taste or they might taste bitter.

I support the school's campaign in encouraging pupils to eat more fruit and vegetables because eating fruits and vegetables is very healthy. I can suggest a competition to eat healthy food, like fruit and vegetables. The canteen can also sell healthier food and not sell aerated or sweet drinks. Pure fruit juice without added sugar can also be sold so that students don't keep drinking sweet drinks. Pupils will get more used to eating fruit and vegetables after the competition, and will eat more fruits and vegetables even at home.

For more information, you can go to the HPB website.
