Healthy eating

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about healthy eating with Whaea Gina. We had these traffic lights to explain if these drinks are good. Green meant we should have it  everyday, orange meant once a week and red meant once a month or never. First we laid down the colour cards and then we got to go up and get given a drink and we had to choose where it would go. Things in the green were water and milk because they are good for us. Things in the orange are juice, chocolate milk and also powerade because juice has sugar in it and so does chocolate milk, powerade can be good for you if your sick so that is why is is in orange. Things in red is energy drinks and fizzy's because they all have way too much sugar. Whaea Gina said we should only have 5 teaspoons of sugar a day. Now that I know this I will try to make healthy choices with my drinks.
