Sid, a 9-year old alien boy, wrote a letter saying he is unhappy because he only eats unhealthy foods like ice cream, popcorn and chocolate. He does not exercise or go to school regularly because he is always tired from eating all day. A response letter suggests Sid try healthier foods, get more exercise, and explains why school is important, in order to help improve Sid's health, energy levels, and social life.

1. Dear class,
I’m a 9 year old alien boy called Sid and
I’m really unhappy.
All I eat are fatty foods, like ice cream,
popcorn and chocolate. I don’t know what
else to eat.
I don’t do any exercise because I spend all
day eating. I always seem to be hungry.
I am always so exhausted so I don’t go to
school everyday. This means I get behind on
my school work and don’t have many friends.
Can anybody help me?
Sid
