Who cares about whether we eat
healthy diets?
When you are young, your parents and
teachers might worry about this. They think they have good reasons, but
you might think that they are a bit boring when they keep going on about
healthy eating. Perhaps you will change your mind when you grow up.
It might be that your parents are
really keen that you should be healthy because they love you and want to
see you grow up into a healthy person. Alternatively, it might just be
that they want a peaceful time and can't be bothered with having to look
after you when you are ill. You probably think you know the answer, but
you might be wrong. Anyway, it is your body so you can do what you like,
or can you.
Older people might worry about your
diet. One day you will be grown-up and at work. The taxes which you will
be paying might help pay my pension! If you are very unhealthy you might
need lots of hospital treatment, so everyone else will have to pay more
taxes to keep the National Health Service going.
Even you employer is keen to see you
fit, healthy and ready for work.
