If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and the reason of this is because of th eir bad eating habits. Most teenagers love fast food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.But bad eating habits gobeyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, som e don’t have a proper meal for lunch.

They preferred(更喜欢) to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure(高血压)in the future.Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day.
