Talking point: Healthy Eating Habits

Today's talking point is about healthy eating habits. Get together with the members of your conversation group to discuss your diet and how healthy you think it is. The questions below, taken from The New York Times Learning blogs may help you to focus the topic.


What are your eating habits and preferences?
Do you think your diet is generally healthy?
Do you pay attention to the fat, salt and sugar content of what you eat?
How much of your diet consists of prepackaged, processed foods?
How often do you eat junk food?
Do you help choose, shop for or even prepare meals and snacks at your house?
Would it be challenging for you to change to eating more healthy foods? Why or why not?
