 EXPLORE

Many children today do not like to eat vegetables. They choose to

eat fried foods which can be full of bad cholesterol. Sometimes, these fried
foods are eaten together with sweet cakes and artificial juices. Sadly, fried
foods, cakes and artificial juices are not good for children when eaten reg-
ularly and in big amounts. Most of the time, what tastes delicious s not
always healthy for children like us.

Hello friends! It is me, Ace. I am happy to

tell you more about myself and my friend, Susie. At
mealtime and during recess, we like to eat healthy
foods.

 Ace and I also love to drink lots of clean wa-
ter, fresh juices, and milk too! We should drink less
softdrinks and artificial juices because they contain
lots of sugar which is not good for children.
