I am in High School and I realize that young people my age, or even younger, are very affected by NCDs because of all the new technologies and changes in our diet. They move less, they are inactive and spend a lot of time in front of their smartphone or computer. So, it is necessary to encourage this generation to go out and do sports and extracurricular activity. If you stay inside all the time, that little cake or biscuit is very hard to resist. But did you know that many biscuits and cakes, apart from being full of hidden sugars and fats, are also made with palm oil? Palm oil is not only bad for your health but also for the environment. The terrible practices by farmers who produce palm oil mean that it is killing our people, but also our planet. I want to see more young people able to understand this and make healthier choices, but I also want to see leaders understanding it and making things like palm oil forbidden.
