UNIT 6 - LESSON 1 - Eating Well

How do we get to this topic of meals?

Likewise, to emphasize healthy and unhealthy foods, we will do a survey of as many people as we can to find out what type of food they consume more and what type they consume less. Lastly, we will place an open question. where they tell us if they believe that the food they consume the most is healthy or not, and why.

In this way we will have a clearer vision regarding what the people around us consume and whether they eat well or in some way harm their bodies.
