Being Healthy By Haley and Juliet

       Being heathly is very important for your body.   To stay heathly you need to eat 5 veggies and 4 fruit everyday.  The Food Pyramid suggests that you eat a heathly lunch.
         Some of the fruit and veggies are: apples, oranges, bannanas, pineapple, grapes, tomatoes, carrots, green beans,  and peppers.  Fruits and veggies come from many different places and they have many colors too.

You can't eat to much in the fat and oils group because they're bad for you. Nuts, meats, and oils have some  fat too.       Fruits and veggies are very important for us.   

What is your favorite fruit or veggie?
