When I am hungry, I go and eat something. I have to think about my health, so I make a healthy snack. When I eat too much unhealthy food I get tired and my stomach hurts. When I am in pain, I eat a lot of vegetables, because that helps me. Then my body is happy again. I think that eating good quality food is important, because I need to get all my nutrients.
