Essay / Healthy Living Essay - 1003
High school students, I think they are at an appropriate age to know what is healthy and what is not. Stay-at-home parents tend to limit snacks such as chips, candy bars, soft drinks, and sweets. Their parents teach children to eat healthily and try to avoid sweets and sugar as much as possible and choose a healthy snack over a sugary one. Children watch television and are well aware and exposed to how things are made. They realize that the ingredients in pre-cooked snacks and meals are chemically processed and not freshly prepared organically. In an interview with Miss Quinteros, she said: “I prepare my own food because I want to know what goes into my body, I am responsible for my body and I will not damage it with processed foods” (Quinteros ). It's a statement that proves that when children reach the appropriate age, they know what's going on in their bodies. Some students decide to be more informed than others about what they buy and what they eat. This is not something you should teach these students because they are no longer children, they are considered young people.
