I know this kind of food isn’t very healthy, but I like it. Anyway, I am young, so it doesn’t really matter. I suppose I can eat sandwiches to save time. And round here, if you go to a restaurant it costs a lot. I am used to eating a lot actually. I don’t seem to get very hungry. |
I eat anything, really. It just depends how hungry I am, and where I am at the time. I mean, sometimes I don’t have any breakfast so I need something filling for lunch. But I don’t always have large meals, some days I just have a snack, you know, a bar of chocolate or something. |
I like eating different kinds of food, Chinese, Indian, Italian, all kinds. I think that food is important if you want to stay healthy. I try to avoid fatty food, and make sure that I eat fresh fruit and vegetables. I don’t think that good food costs more. |
Describe your own eating habits in the same way.
What place do you like to go or would like to go? Why?
