HEALTHY EATING!!!

In some parts of the world as many as 1 in 10 children are now obese, which means they're so overweight it's bad for their health. But why do you thinkit's such a big problem?

They should make healthy food look and taste better, then more people will want to eat it.    

I think that healthy foods should be made more appealing to kids and really unhealthy foods should be made more expensive so that people don't want to waste their money on it.    

I think that celebrities should start advertising healthier food because lots of children copy what they do. I also think that schools should do more P.E as lots of children don't exercise when they're outside of school.
