David, a 12-year-old English boy, loves hamburgers very much. He has one hamburger in the morning, and three hamburgers and two ice creams in the afternoon. For dinner, what does he have? Three hamburgers and some cola!
Some scientists say, "Hamburgers, ice cream and cola are nice but eating them too much is not good. " If we have food like hamburgers too much, what can we get?
