Hey, Fatty! This Can Make You Skinny!

This is an argument against eating how much of whatever you want whenever you want.

Eat healthy. You’ve probably heard the phrase. But what does it mean? It can mean a lot of things, including: eat a variety of foods, don’t eat meat, don’t drink cow's milk, and the very popular eat your vegetables. But I want to talk about the people who eat whatever they want and lots of it and expect to be fine. I strongly disagree. 

First of all, eating too much of one thing is never a good thing because foods only hold so many different types of nutrients and vitamins, so eating only one thing can’t be good. To achieve healthiness, you must eat a balance of all foods. Eat more vegetables, lots of meat, more fruit and less dairy, more bread and other grains (not whitebread), and way less lollies.

You should also never eat too much of something because your body can’t really use the excess nutrients. Your body has just extracted the last lot of vitamins when more of the exact same stuff comes along and your body doesn’t really need it, so it just comes out as waste. Also, if you just eat way too much of something, then you're just gonna become overweight. This is going to be a problem later on in life, as fat can cause diabetes, heart disease, and strokes. 

Lastly, eating whatever you want isn’t a good thing because, well, unless you’re Addison of course, you’re not gonna want to eat 3 raw capsicums for dinner. You’re gonna wanna eat a large big mac combo, or a wing bucket from KFC. Nobody wants to eat 3 slices of cucumber, half a tomato, and a leftover salad with mayo for breakfast! (unless you’re vegan) So I’m not saying to never eat anything you like, but you should still regulate. So next time you're queuing in line at Macca’s, remember to ask yourself, ‘would future me do this?’.
