Minister for Health
On Monday the 6th of November Simon Harris, the minister for health, came into the school to talk to us about health, the new food pyramid and how food impacts our mental health. He told us that Ireland was on pace to break the world record for being the fattest country, which I don't think is a record we want. He then started talking to us about the new food pyramid, the unhealthy part of the food pyramid is now not connected anymore because you don't need to have junk food in your diet. We were also told about how food can affect our mental health, and it affects your mood and attitude. Simon also started talking about how the government is progressing to improve the health system in our country. This talk taught me a lot about health and how food affects our body and mental health.
