What’s in your fridge?

Today’s kids eat lots of different kinds of foods, some healthy, some not so healthy. Of
course, it’s fine to eat a few bad foods because they won’t hurt you in small amounts. But
how much is too much? We asked three teenagers to tell us what’s in their kitchen. Who’s
got a healthy kitchen? Who is probably OK? And who needs to make a change?

Lindsay
I must say, I love snacks. I could eat a packet of crisps every day if I had them! But my
mum never buys them. We have lots of healthy food in the house, like fresh fruit and
vegetables. Luckily for me, my dad likes foods with sugar, so we’ve always got some
biscuits in the kitchen too. I try not to eat them, but some days, it’s hard not to!

Donald
Well, I love tasty food and drinks and our kitchen’s got lots of them! We’ve got fizzy drinks,
biscuits, crisps, lots of frozen foods that are easy to cook – and easy to eat! I also love
frozen pizzas because they taste really great. My mum hates to cook, so they’re perfect.
Oh, I think we’ve got an apple or two, but no-one ever eats those!

Beth
I like foods with lots of sugar and butter in them, but we hardly ever eat them at my house.
There’s a supermarket near our house that’s got lots of fresh food. That’s where my mum
shops. She hates to buy frozen foods. She doesn’t think they’re tasty. No-one in my family
does! My mum likes to cook too, so we have lots of healthy meals in our house.
