A Healthy Lifestyle

difficult to keep it up. Mr and Mrs Thomson work long hours at the hospital, and feel exhausted
when they arrive home. They also have three young children who needed a lot of care. David is
eight years old, their daughter Ann is six and the baby is one. It is difficult for the family to cook
healthy meals every day. For months, Mrs Thomson has been ordering food during the week,
which is delivered after they arrive from work. This is a bad routine, and the Thomson’s know
this fact very well and have started to worry that their children will get so used to eating fast

eating healthy homemade meals and feel very excited about it.
