"Healthy or Unhealthy?"
Eating healthy food is important for your body. Healthy foods include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods give you energy and help you stay strong. Some people love eating unhealthy food like chips, candy, and fast food. These foods taste good but are not good for your health.
For example, Sarah eats fruit and vegetables every day. She says, "I love salads because they are fresh and healthy." Her brother Mike, however, loves burgers and fries. He says, "I don’t like vegetables. I eat fast food every week."
