Many people are getting fatter and fatter now. Scientists say that it has a lot to do with their eating habits. It's important for us to have healthy eating habits.
Most of us like eating sweets and ice cream. Sweets and ice cream are not too bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat, either. It's necessary for us to eat our meals at the same time each day.
There is an interesting story about it. A long time ago, in England, some judges often decided whether a man was telling the truth or not by giving him some dry bread. If the man couldn't swallow the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth. A man who is worrying about something has problems in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.
