People’s Eating Habits--Oscar

Regarding people’s eating habits, food is a most important part in every culture. However, the food in America is not healthy. For example, fast food and sodas. Furthermore, most people have an unhealthy life style. I had an interview with my two friends: Amy and Franklin who have totally different life styles.

My friend Amy, who is freshman in Denver University, has very good life style. First of all, Amy seems to have a very good diet because she consumes mostly healthy food, such as vegetable salad, yoghourt, and beefsteak. Also, Amy goes to the gym every two days. In the weekend, Amy always practices archery in the local archery club. However, Amy goes drinking every weekend and she smokes a packet of cigarettes everyday.

On the other hand, my friend Franklin is a sophomore in Monash University in Australia. Franklin wants to lose his weight but that is too difficult. He only eats vegetable salad on breakfast sometimes. Because of traditional Chinese doctors believe lunch is most important meal everyday, he has a heavy lunch everyday. He usually eats beefsteak and Chinese noodles on his lunch. Meanwhile, he likes drinking coke and Red Bull when he eats lunch. In addition, Franklin eats fast food almost every dinner. “McDonald’s is cheaper and faster,” he explains. “ You know, I do not have much time to cook for myself.” Therefore, he never goes to the gym or does exercise. He says the only exercise he does is walk to Seven Eleven that is across the street.

As everyone knows, smoking and drinking are very bad for people’s health. Even though Amy has a healthy diet, Amy should stop smoking and drinking. As regard as Franklin’s problems, I would like give some advices to him. First, if Franklin can stop drinking any sodas or energy drinks, he will feel better. In addition, fast food is worst food around the world, so if franklin can study how to cook for himself and stop eating fast food such as KFC and McDonald’s, he will lose some weight. Also, going to the gym is a good idea because some people believe go to gym has lots of choices. However, doing exercise not only in the gym, but also in anywhere at anytime. For example, Franklin can walks to school or takes bike to school everyday and he can stop using elevator. Finally, good diet is very important for people’s health. Franklin needs more vegetables and healthy drink such as fruit juice and yoghourt.

 Unfortunately, keeping healthy diet is very difficult. If Amy and Franklin do not follow my advices, they will have physical illness such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. If Amy does not stop smoking and drinking, she has heart disease in the future. Also, Franklin should do more exercise even though he has a healthy diet. Because of sodas and energy drinks have high sugar content, Franklin might have diabetes if he does not stop drinking sodas and energy drinks. Also, fast food is very danger because fast food leads to obesity and obesity leads to diabetes and hear disease. Therefore, my advices are good for my friends Amy and Franklin.
