ARE WE EATING HEALTHY?

 what you ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner yesterday?

Yesterday, I ate for breakfast: a glass of milk with biscuits. For lunch I ate one plate of pasta with chickpeas, an apple and I drank one glass of orange juice. Finally for dinner I ate a plate of rice with  peas, potatoes and a yogurt.

What do you think, is your diet healthy? Give reasons.

I think my diet is okay, because according to the pyramid I have to eat 6-11 servings pasta, rice, cereal & bread and 2-3 servings meat, fish dry beans, eggs, nuts etc . I only ate 3 servings and I didn't eat meat, fish but I usually eat nuts, dry fruits and the other servings I ate properly so I don't think my diet is unhealty.

I think that vegetarian diet is great. Everyone needs to try it. One of the advantages to the vegetarian diet is that it tends to be low in fat. A vegetarian diet also can help you avoid heart problems and it  may be the key to weight loss.

Which is your favourite vegetable?

My favourite vegetable is the potato. It has a peel. A potato is brown from outside and white from inside. It's a primary ingredient in many dishes. A potato contains many vitamins. We can eat it boiled, fried, in chips or with different kind of vegetables. My favourite way of eating potatoes is in chips.

which is your favourite fruit?

 My favourite fruit is the orange. An orange is orange. It has a peel and slices. We can eat oranges by themselves or in juice, ice-cream and candies. It's a delicios fruit. My favourite way of eating oranges is in a juice.
