POST 8: FOOD AND EATING HABITS



"We are what we eat" I've heard some people who are concerned with eating habits say this, and I couldn't agree more with that.
Today you have chosen to write about food, so here you have some questions to guide your writing. They are related to three topics, but you don't have to answer them all, just choose the ones that sound more interesting to you. Make sure you write 240 words and write comments on three of your classmates'`posts.
