Speech for English Class.

Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, could I have your attention please?

Today I am going to talk about a topic that should concern us all these days. Food, what can we say about food? Some people encourage their children to eat much, they say: "- the more you eat, the healthier you are", but until when can we say that this is a true fact?

Food is really necessary to have a good standard of living, it is in fact essential. However as everything else, food in excess is unhealthy.

I am here to let you know what we should take into account at the time of deciding what are we going to have for our daily diet.

Nowadays more and more people in the world are lowering their longevity by having bad eating habits.

In order to improve the situation, we must learn about what's healthy and what's not. Upon the completion of this task we can proceed by informing others what we know by teaching them at different opportunities we may have and by making them aware of the benefits of having healthy eating habits.


The main things we should take into account, are that eating more doesn't necessarily mean being healthier, and having a balanced diet doesn't mean starving, okay?


Imagine if we all could learn to cook at least three healthy recipes, then we could teach them to each other and we would all know how to prepare a wide variety of healthy dishes.

In this way, annual deaths due to obesity and other food related diseases would decrease dramtically, since to have bad eating habits is being currently the main cause of death every year, even surpassing smoking.


Obesity is an alarming problem which isaffecting people worldwide and we shouldn't let it develop anymore, let's be smarter and let the world be aware of this problem we are facing.


Together, we can contribute to make the earth a better and healthier place ; If you really want to change the world for the better remember that always, where there's a will, there's a way.
