He said，“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what’s available in our local corner shops. ”

But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating.According to the National and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 14 and 18 consume too much fat sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories. Meanwhile their intake of starchy carbohydrates (含大淀粉的碳水水化合物),fibre, iron, vitamins and calcium is too low.
For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, is particularly important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy, strong bones.Similarly. foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat. bread, green vegetables, dried fruit and tonified（使增强体质的）breakfast cereals are also recommended.
