Answers & Comments
I prefer to go to takeaway restaurants
Once I tried meat in French it was just a wonderful dish
I don't use diets because it doesn't help people
I believe that diets only harm the body because the body weakens due to diets
Now we eat worse than before because the current food spoils our stomach. It's dangerous.
I rarely eat genetically modified foods . Such food is stored for a long time but this is very bad because the food is saturated with chemicals
Yes I agree because these vegetables improve our health
