students during college hours because, of money.

 My Point of View

 Actually, money influences the healthy eating habits of college students.

 For students who have more or enough money, they will be enjoying
varieties of food.

 But, students who want to save money or not enough pocket money,
have control their for expenditure during college hours

 Besides that, money also influences the frequency of taking meal during
college hour.

 I thought that students shows less interest in class because of food.

But, actually it’s not. Its, students unhealthy attitude.
Suggestions
 Students should take their meals regularly during their college hours/
(don’t penalize just to save money)….x 3----(lunch,coffee,cookies)

 For students who have financial problem, they should plan their
college expenditure wisely and also make sure that, eat food with all diets.

 Students should not always go for fast food or junk food because, it will
infect our health.

 Students also should concern about their body weight and height.
It helps them to maintain healthy life style.

 So, students must be intelligent in spending money for food and

intake healthy food during college hour or at outdoor.
