Staying healthy can be difficult — it might mean we don't always get to eat and drink the things we want. Sometimes we have to sacrifice some sweet things because we know they're not such a good idea! But how far would you go to make sure you have a healthy diet? A new survey has found that almost a quarter of people in the UK don't enjoy their meals because they put health before taste. That means they're choosing to eat meals they don't like just because they're healthy. However, the survey, by a bread company called Warburtons, also found that 74% of people aged between 25 and 44 aren't quite sure how to eat a balanced diet. So it's perhaps not a surprise that people are eating meals they don't enjoy! It's true that foods full of sugar, salt and butter can taste good, but experts say that healthy meals can taste great too. And we can still enjoy some tasty things as part of a healthy diet. In fact, some experts say that we shouldn't think of foods as "good" or "bad" — we should be able to enjoy everything in moderation. This is something that older adults are better at, according to the survey, which included 2,000 people in the UK. Adults over the age of 65 were most likely to put their enjoyment first when making food. Younger people admitted to eating meals in front of others to look like they're healthy — even if they don't like the food.
