Making the Decision to Eat Fresh Food
By Melanie Dow

I believe that I will make the decision to eat more fruits and vegetables at a young age because fresh food makes me live longer.

I decide to eat more fruits and vegetables because fresh foods give me energy so I can exercise more.

I decide to start buying my own fresh food so that I will prevent obesity.

I decide to start eating more fruits and vegetables because fresh foods can strengthen my immune system and prevent illnesses.

I decide to encourage my family to start snacking on fresh food so that we will have a reduced risk for heart disease.

I decide to eat at least one vegetable or fruit with my classmates at lunch so they will eat some too.

I decide to eat a fruit instead of a dessert after dinner in order to get my daily nutrient and vitamin intake.

I believe that my decision to eat more fresh foods at meals will help me to live a healthier lifestyle.

Summary
I’ve made the decision to eat fresh food.
How about you?
Have you made a decision too?
