So, let's start with breakfast. What do you typically eat for breakfast?
Partner: Well, I usually have a bowl of oatmeal with some fruit on top, or a bran muffin with a cup of coffee.
That sounds healthy! Have you ever heard of the healthy food pyramid?
Partner: Yes, I have. It's a way to organize the types of food we should be eating, right?
Exactly. The base of the pyramid is made up of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, with smaller amounts of dairy, protein, and fats at the top. Do you try to follow this pyramid in your diet?
Partner: I do my best, but I definitely could eat more fruits and vegetables.
What kind of food do you find is most useful for your body/brain?
Partner: I think foods that are rich in antioxidants, like blueberries or dark chocolate, are great for brain function. And for my body, I try to eat lean protein and complex carbs to keep me energized.
That makes sense. Now, what do you think is the reason people eat so much fast food?
Partner: I think it's mostly convenience. It's quick and easy, especially if you're on the go all the time.
And what health problems can people get from eating too much junk food?
Partner: Well, they can become overweight or obese, which can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. Plus, junk food is usually high in sodium and saturated fats, which can also cause health problems over time.
