My food preferences�Healthy food

The motto of our lesson:

• Do you live to eat or eat to live?

• Eating is always a decision, nobody forces your hand to pick up food and put it into your mouth.
• Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
• Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.
