their fault – the problem lies with their parents.

they buy ‘convenience’ foods, so their children
eat 7

and they only eat 8
vegetables.

every day.

Il mio stile di vita è abbastanza sano, ma i
miei genitori non sono d’accordo. Mangio
molta frutta, ma mia mamma dice che non
mangio abbastanza verdura fresca. Mangio
molta pasta e mangio poca carne. Non bevo
mai bibite frizzanti, ma qualche volta mangio
caramelle e cioccolato. Mio papà pensa che
guardo troppo la televisione, ma secondo me
va bene così perché faccio anche tanta attività
fisica – vado a nuotare ogni settimana e gioco
a pallacanestro e pallavolo a scuola.

Rebecca Yes,
