This article is inspiring and gives hope that change to a better life is always possible if we work for it. However, this change will take a lot of effort to make it happen especially if this is a change to something different from our daily habits. Changing food habits to food that has better taste is easy but healthy food usually  not easy and this is the challenge of change. I believe that people behavior and activity are directly affected by their food habits. I can see this in my children after each meal we take. If the food is healthy, they would be active but without damaging things in the house. Also, if they eat unhealthy food with for example more sugar they would break everything. The third case if they eat unhealthy food like McDonalds, and they would be inactive all the day.
