WHAT THE GOVERNMENT THINKS YOU SHOULD EAT TO
MAKE YOU HEALTHY
By Dylan Harris, Grade 4
SUGAR= BAD TEETH AND BODY
The government says that the normal person
should eat 12 teaspoons a day unless you are in tip
top condition. If you are, you can have 15 teaspoons
a day.
MEAT OR PLANTS
The government thinks we should eat more plants
and less meat, especially red meat. They think it has
too much added sugar.
EGGS ARE EGGEPTED
Until 2015, the government said that too much
chorestorel was bad for you and to eat only 2 eggs
a day. Now, the government says to eat 3-6 eggs a
day. Eggs are healthy and cholesterol is not
important enough to cause harm to a person.
JUST 1 MORE CUP
The government says coffee is fine if you have 3-5
cups a day. If you drink more, you are addicted,
unhealthy, don’t sleep, and need a doctor.
FISH AND SEAFOOD

healthy if you aren't having an allergic reaction.
