Which statement best explains how chronic diseases are linked to poor eating choices? Adolescent children adopt unhealthy eating
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Adolescent and children  prefer to eat junks foods and fast foods  which are high in calories.These foods fill up the stomach,but lack the basic nutrients(CHO, protein) needed by man for survival and healthy living.

Colorectal and prostate cancer are other chronic diseases that may results from poor eating choices. Fries,high sugar  in junks are the causes.
