A new vegetable: pizza! By Adam
This article was written by Lizz Winstead for The Guardian, on the 18th November 2011. It deals with the American Congress's vote which allows pizza to be considered as a vegetable in school dinners... Is the health of America's children in danger ?
In my opinion, American politicians
voted for this law under pressure from the frozen food industry's
lobby. I think this attitude is unbelievable. Law-makers put
children's health in danger. In fact, it is the lobbies that make the Law in that country !
But, are our school dinners any
better ? Our pizza is still called pizza, but do French
teenagers have a balanced meal at lunch times for all that ?

An apple a day keeps the doctor away... By Julie
My
mother uses this English expression about once a day, to encourage me and my
father to eat fruit and vegetables, because she knows that her "wondeurfool" English accent is the best way to make vegetables "fun" and easier to
eat !
In 2008 there was 1.5 billion
overweight people in the world, and this number has not stopped increasing... At least in France the health campaign manger bouger
is doing wonders to (some) people's diet...

Beer not just for blokes... By Gael
We already know that drinking a glass of red
wine might be good for your health... Well, a new study has shown that
drinking a pint of beer every day is not a bad habit! In fact, beer is rich in silicone and
this silicone is thought to prevent osteoporosis, which affects women after the menopause.
So, Ladies, let's enjoy the match together, but, of course, only one pint... Cheers!
