1) Wenxin [Index Number 9]
Wenxin and I are close friends. Very, veeeeeryyy close friends. We share a love of Kris Allen, creative writing and - most importantly - FAST FOOD. Wenxin and I have been over to each other's houses countless times (okay I've only been to her house once but still!) and we have recess and lunch together regularly, so we know pretty well what the other usually eats.

1 immediately noticeable thing about Wenxin's diet is...the familiar names of KFC and Pizza Hut, the latter being something you would find on my list of food as well. Though cheap and convenient, fast food is significantly unhealthier than other kinds of food, in that it contains high amounts of salt and oil and is usually processed, this being one of the reasons everything can be prepared so "quickly", but also something that would contribute to high cholesterol levels. I would advise her to cut back on the fast food. I think it's good that she eats fruits and drinks fruit juice and tea often, as this is cleansing for the body. It's also good that she eats tofu, which is healthy. Oh and I think miso soup is nice too, but probably contains loads of MSG, which makes your cheeks swell up and burn (not literally).

2) Yen Siang [Index Number 21]
Yen Siang and I are good friends too - we bond through our mutual love of coke, potato chips and keeping late nights. I've been cutting down on the potato chips lately (too salty! too oily! too...everything. after a while you just kind of get tired of it) but I do remember a certain period last year when my mum and I would drink coke zero every. single. day...with every. single. meal. Coke Zero, a diet drink, claims to be healthier than regular Coca-Cola, but you never know - and besides, it's still COKE, and you'd be better off drinking hot tea or just plain water in any case. Which is what I'd like to advise Yen Siang to do. As our class chairperson, she often has to do a lot of shouti- I mean, making announcements. Too much coke and potato chips, especially when combined with not enough rest, can be immensely bad for your throat! I speak from experience. Yen Siang should try to eat more healthy food - come on, even -I- think some fruits are really tasty - and at regular timings. And you could always have a soup or something - I think ANYTHING would be better than her current diet! :( She also has to make a conscious effort to consume foods and beverages that will help to increase her carbohydrate and energy intake to a healthy level.

3) Yee Ting [Index Number 17]
Yee Ting's regular consumption of bread and rice, found in Level 4 of the food pyramid as something that should be consumed in large quantities of 5-7 servings daily, is admirable. She also drinks milk daily; the calcium in which will help her to develop strong bones and teeth! At a glance, Yee Ting's diet looks interesting and balanced - I take note of fish, meat, pastry, fruits and vegetables, as well as snacks, with nothing in particular standing out to me in an alarming way. Still, I think her diet could be improved on, as according to her analysis, she still has high levels of everything, especially sodium, apart from 67 per cent calcium intake. Apart from drinking milk she could consume other foods with calcium in them, such as cheese! I think she should try to eat more greens as well since sometimes she has merely one serving a day. Perhaps she could try cutting down on the unhealthy snacks, such as cookies, chocolate and jelly, and also exercise regularly. Yee Ting is very very very skinny, like a stick (I mean a very pretty stick!). She is also very tall. We are all growing and Yee Ting could definitely use the extra weight.

DEAR FRIENDS, LET US ALL TRY TO IMPROVE OUR DIETARY HABITS AND LIFESTYLES TOGETHER!
