Twenty-four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying, compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately,its as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.1、According to the passage,women usually put weight on first_.Aon the faceBon the legsCon the feetDin
