Ask Auntie

Dear Auntie

I like all kinds of sugary food, such as cookies and cakes, but chocolate is my favourite.
I usually eat three chocolate bars a day — one on my way to school, another at lunch,
and another after I get home from school. My mum says I need to eat less chocolate
because
5 it’s bad for me, but I just can’t stop eating it! I’m not overweight and I play lots
of sports, like football and tennis, but I don’t want to have health problems when I get
older. Do you think my mum is right?

Sincerely

Margaret
