You’ve been asked to speak to the school board to advocate for the importance of a well-balanced diet and physical activity for all students. Write out a script of what you will say. Make sure to include: 1. Address the obesity problem in our world today. 2. How having a well-balanced diet is important for your physical, mental, and social health. 3. Should your school allow students more time to engage in physical activity? and should they serve more healthy foods at the school cafeteria?

Hey there!

I believe that better eating should be an issue addressed to all students. School cafeterias should be making sure to feed kids healthy food. Obesity is a major problem today, and the main reason is because people are not eating healthy like they should. When making a meal, most people do not think about what nutrients are within the food, only about how it tastes. This can be a problem, because usually humans are more attracted to unhealthy food. Having a well-balanced diet with the correct nutrients is very important to overall health. It is important to physical health, because if your body does not have the proper food it needs, it may not be able to function properly. Healthy food also prevents diseases. Eating healthy is also important to your mental health. It gives you an overall sense of wellbeing, making a person happier and more energetic. This can contribute to healthy social health, because if a person is more energetic and happy, they are more likely to socialize and be friendly. I think there should also be more time during the school day to be physically active. Otherwise, students are sitting all day in desks, and they have no time to be physically active. Being physically active more helps to make students more energetic and eager to learn, happier, and it can help with keeping body weight under control.

Hope it helps! Good luck on your assignment!
