EAT HEALTHY, LIVE HAPPY

Hi! My name is Helen and I think I’m a very lucky person. My family, friends and even my school cares about healthy food. It’s really easy for me to keep my diet healthy. I’m not very hungry in the morning, so breakfast isn’t my favourite meal. Before I go to school, I have a small bowl of cereal or a piece of toast and a glass of milk. However, at weekends, we have breakfast with the whole family. My mum cooks bacon and eggs. Our family motto is ‘eat healthy, live happy’. So we try to eat healthy food. We mostly eat vegetables and fruits and drink a lot of water.

Our school has got an organic garden. We learn about growing vegetables and looking after them in our science lessons. During holidays, we can volunteer to work in the garden. My family lives in a flat, so it’s great for me to have a garden at school. Volunteers can take some vegetables home, too. My parents are very happy that I like working there.

My grandparents live on a farm in Spain. It isn’t very big but they have got chickens, pigs and cows. We always go to stay with them in the summer. It’s a beautiful place, and the food is amazing. All the vegetables are so fresh and healthy because the farm is organic. My grandma has a farm shop. The food she sells there is from animals that live on the farm or vegetables that she grows. There are many farms in the area. So they organize a food festival once a year, and we always go to eat there and watch cookery demonstrations. They are really interesting, and you can learn a lot about cooking.
