Generally students have good food habits except for the high percentage of people who dislike vegetables, which produces a lack of
fibres in our diet. Moreover too many students don’t have breakfast in the morning and it can
cause a lowering in concentration and an increase of stress.
As a strange data it
is to notice that
young people don’t
like so much to go
out for dinner.
Probably they prefer
to be comfortable at
home with their
family, also because
nowadays it is
harder to find all the
members of the
family together.
No, not exactly.
Even if students think that it is important to
Stay with their family during meals, actually
most of them watch TV while eating
and they don’t speak with their
parents.
