Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would prefer sweets and ice-cream to meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we eat before a meal, they may take away our appetite (食欲). It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England some judges used to decide whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. He was telling lies.
