2 . Fast food is popular in the United States, because for under $5.00, you can usually get a good meal. And it is quick and easy to take.
Now fast food changes Chinese people’s lifestyle so much. People’s life becomes better and better. So more people in cities have money to eat outside. Some people think eating fast food means you live a modern life. The young people and kids’ favorite fast food are hamburgers, chicken and cola. You can buy them in many places. At weekends, parents like to take their children to fast food restaurants. People order their food, wait a few minutes, and take it to their tables themselves. People also take their food out of restaurants and eat it in their cars or at their homes.
Fast food is quick, but it has lots of fat. If you cat too much fast food for a long time, it is not good for your health. So we should eat less fast food and eat more healthy food such as fruit and vegetables.

3 . Today, there are many ads on social media and most ads are impossible to avoid, especially when people follow some famous influencers. The influencers are Internet celebrities(名人) with lots of social media followers, and their posts can influence lots of people. The new data from a research made by a teen researcher shows that these influencers promote(推销) more unhealthy foods and drinks than other celebrities.
The new findings come from Nyasha Nyoni, 17. Nyasha is an athlete who likes cooking in the kitchen. Being healthy is important to her. She used to look at food and drink ads on mainstream ( 主 流 ) media. “I thought it would be interesting to look at social media,” Nyasha says, “because it’s a newer technology and it is growing so quickly.” Social-media platforms are often paid to promote foods and drinks. Nyasha wondered how healthy those products were, so she chose to make a research about it.
First, Nyasha needed a list of Internet celebrities’accounts(账号). She picked 100 athletes from a Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid athletes. Her list of 100 musicians came from Billboard’s hot 100 songs. And she picked 100 biggest influencers on social media. Nyasha looked through their posts about promoting foods and drinks in 2019 and 2020. It turns out that the influencers promoted more snack products than other groups. Snacks were the unhealthiest food on social media.
Nyasha was surprised by the result of her research. It didn’t match up with her experience or other studies. She’d expected influencers to promote more diet-related products. However, snacks were the most popular type of products by all three groups. Fruits, vegetables and water were least promoted.
“These findings could encourage new social media rules to protect young users from unhealthy ads,” Nyasha says, “Nearly four out of every ten social media users are between the ages of 13 to 24. Influencers’ ads may be especially alluring(有吸引力的),” she says, “The influencers may be seen as more relatable than mainstream celebrities. As a result, young users may have fewer doubts about the products they promote”.
This study has changed the way Nyasha sees her own social media. She has unfollowed some people who pushed unhealthy habits. She honestly thinks everyone should do that. Young users should get to construct(建构) their own social-media feeds to make that online space as healthy and positive as possible.

4 . Overweight(超重) is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you. What’s worse, overweight children turn into overweight adults(成人). If you’re obese now, you probably will grow into an obese adult. But here’s good news. You can fight overweight.
Change your eating habits
You are what you eat. Kids like snacks. Did you list any healthy snacks? One study of eating habits showed that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next, kids choose salty snacks, like chips. What’s more, the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No. 11. Finally, No. 12, kids picked a healthy snack — fruit. So, think about your snack choice again.
Get outside to exercise
Jim, a player on his school football team. had a weight problem not long time ago. He could never get anyone to play with him. So his father and he started playing football for a few minutes every night. Ten minutes turned into an hour or more. In just a few years, the heavy kid became athletic, fit and healthy.
More TV means more fat
Nearly every American kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minutes every day that adds up to 44 days a year of sitting. More TV(or more Internet surfing, or more computer games) means more fat.
Eat an apple a day, walk around the house, play with your family … Do it today, and do it more tomorrow. It will help you a lot.

7 . Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many people don’t have it. Common reasons for not eating breakfast include shortage of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting (节食).
Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. You eat nothing for at least 6 to 12 hours each night. Even though you have been sleeping, you have still been burning energy. And in the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.
A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3 of your total calories (卡路里) that your body needs for the day. Generally speaking, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t interest you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning.
If you still aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or bread or have nutritious (有营养的) mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.
So, you say you’re on a diet. Some people are afraid that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That’s because your body is working correctly. Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in fact you’re probably not.
Not eating breakfast may cause you to overeat, because a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel hungry later. To make things worse, since your body is in a slowed state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories well. If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you may not become hungry so easily and eat too much when you have meals.
Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, your choice is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat, and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals.

Do you have lunch at school? Do you like having lunch at school? School dinners that means “lunch” are a hot topic (话题) in the UK these days and there are lots of different opinions (观点) about what young people eat at lunchtime.
Some people think that school meals are unhealthy, some people say that they are much better than those in the past and others say that midday meals should be free for all school children.
What is a school dinner?
A typical school dinner costs about 2 pounds a day for a secondary pupil in the UK. There is usually a main course, a dessert and a drink. Parents often pay online in advance. School dinners must include (包括) food groups such as fruit and vegetables, protein (for example meat, fish or cheese) and carbohydrate (for example rice or pasta). There are rules about how the food is prepared, for example there are limits (限制) on how much of fried food there can be in a dinner.
Neverseconds—the school dinners blog
Martha Payne, from Scotland, started a blog (博客) called Neverseconds about her school dinners when she was just nine years old. She posts photos of her lunch every day and gives the food a grade (级别) out of ten. The grade depends on how healthy it is. Many people read her blog and young people from all over the world post pictures of their school meals on Neverseconds. On the blog, Martha also collects money to buy food for more than 600,000 poor children around the world.
The future for school dinners
More than a third of British school pupils have school dinners. There are plans to examine school dinners in the UK and look at ways to make them better. Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent started “Leon” chain restaurants to sell healthy fast food. The British government (政府) has asked the two restaurant owners to collect information about school dinners and see how they become better. Hopefully, lunchtime food in British schools will soon be better.
