10. What do you think about theunhealthy habits?
That they are dangerous, and that the world is a bomb of people that are fat, unhealthy,
and with a lot of problems in their body. I don´t like this world because the unhealthy habits
are present in the actual day.
I love to have a healthy life and for that I recommend you to make a world healthier but I
think that with that way it isn’t going to be possible. One point less for this society that
invite you to take the drugs and then we can’t stop and that invite you to take a good
hamburger. Applaud the actual world.
