and some cancers. Worldwide, about 22 million
children under age five are estimated to be

 Choose foods with less amount of salts.
We have proven that fast food chains do offer healthy
choices on their menus, though some are
unhealthy (eg. Fries), and the choice lies in the
hand of consumers, hence we have to choose
wisely and our reasons are as follow:
1. In recent years, fast food restaurant are
increasingly more inclined to the healthier side.
Examples are the introduction of apple dippers,
more vegetables in Mac Donalds and corn
cup.
2. However unhealthy choices such as fries and
soft drinks are still present. Knowing these food
poses a threat to our health, we should avoid
them.
Conclusion
 Because Healthy food leads to healthy living.
So eat good, Live good.
