I's when you eat things lke hamburgers and Pizzas all the time that it can be a bit unhealthy. ‘Yes, it's important to have a balenced diet That's right.

And also, | think people take more trouble to cook well when they are going to cook for several people than when they are cooking just for themselves, so infact people eat better.
