Question
Talk with your grandparents or elderly people and find out what they ate and what work they did when they were of your age.
- Now think about yourself – your daily activities and daily diet.
- Are these similar or different from what your grandparents did and ate?
Solution
My grandparents used to eat rice, dal, green vegetables, milk, and a lot of fresh fruits. They used to do a lot of physical activities. They used to walk two miles to go to school. They used to play games that involved a lot of physical activities. Modern times have changed. We do eat rice, dal, and vegetables, but we also take many junk food. I go to school by school bus. The major part of my free time is spent sitting on the sofa, watching TV, or playing computer games. We do less amount of physical activities.
