Hot Chips Cause Cancer And Take-away Food Dangerous

As everybody know, most of Australian people like chips. I can alway see many people eating chip while their breaktime include children at school. According to some scientists around world they have pointed out there is a very dangerous chemical substance-acrylamide in the Hot Chips. So I think people must change their eating habits do not eat chips any more or less. In case of it causes cancer or makes more fat. And also take-away food is dangerous. Because most of them have MSG(Monosdium Glutamate) inside and it can damages our eyes. So it is better to leave them to keep our life more health. Let's do it!!!!

OBESITY

Obesity is a unvarying topic!! I think the most important things to do to keep obese away from people is to change their eating habits. Because most of Australian people like chips, ice-cream, coffee, cola, chocolate... and these such things make people fat easier. And they need to eat more fruits, vegetables, water... And I think the sport equipment in school doesn't enough and the children need more exercises.
Obesity in Australia 1, obesity is due to fat being deposited on our bodies when the nutrients energy(kilojoules)we consume from food and drink is greater than the energy we use up in activities and at rest.
2, Aroud 7 million Australian adults are obese.
3, More men are overweight than women, but more women are obese. T
4, In the year 2020, 75 per cent of the Australian population will be overweight orobese. T
5, Body Mass Index is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the their height in metres squared. T
6, People with a BMI of 25 or more are overweight, people with a BMI of 30 or more are considered obese.
7, 80 per cent of obese children will become obese adults.
8, Obesity increases the risk of many serious diseases, like stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. T
9, There are least 14 diseases associated with obesity.
10, Adult obesity in Australia was linked to household income and employment. F
11, Adult obesity in Australia is linked to genes, eating habits, physical activity and television viewing habits. T
12, Obesity costs Australia taxpayers an estimated $1.5 billion every year in direct health costs.
13, More money is spent indirectly on weight management programs, people not going to work because of being sick and people dying too young. T
14, Name 3 recommendations on how to help solve the problem of obesity in Australia:
*Reduce the price of healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables and wholegrain products.
*Reduce food advertising during children's television programming.
*Improve the food available at school canteens and in workplaces.

Thin Models

Thin Models is a hard topic to talk about.
A Thin Model means the model whos BMI below 18.
Everything has two sizes. For fashion designers, they want models to be thiner to show how beautiful their design are! Resulting models keep skinny to humour the taste of the fashion designers. But for models themseves, it is a big problem to be too thin for their health. In fact they don't eat most of food just little fruit or vegetable to keep fit, some models even eat medicines to control the body. It is really unhealthy!
I think that thin models should stop doing this stupid things, because health is the most important thing in the life!!
