Shawn:
I like spaghetti and pizza, are they healthy foods?
Michael:
Well they can be, but to be healthy, you need to eat lots of different kinds of food.
Luci:
Sure, look here! Come here, Shawn! These are the four food groups, Bread & Cereal, Meats & Protein, Milk & Dairy, & Fruits and Vegetables.
Barney:
Oh boy! Just look at all the good things to eat. I think it would take a dinosaur to eat all of that.
Luci:
Breads & Cereals are things like bread, and cereal, and rice, and crackers. Meats & Protein are things like Meat, and fish, and eggs, and peanut butter. Milks & Dairy are things like, milk, and butter, and cheese, ice cream, and yogurt. And there are lots of fruits and vegetables like apples, oranges, bananas, carrots, cauliflower, celery, and lots more.
Barney:
Yummy, yummy veggies!
Michael:
So a healthy meal could be.... Um, some bread, a little bit of peanut butter, um, a piece of cheese, and some celery sticks!
Barney:
Oh-ho. I'd like a meal like that.
Shawn:
Four kinds of foods make one healthy body. But what will happen if someone had only ate one kind of food forever and ever?
Luci:
Oh you wouldn't wanna do that. Something strange might happen.
Barney:
Oh. Like what?
Luci:
I'll tell you. There once was a boy who would only eat noodles. Oodles, and oodles, and oodles of noodles. And unless mom served him, he'd go boo-hoo-hoodles. Until she would fill up his plate. Yes unless he got noodles he get him mad noodles. And wiggle and whine and act terribly ruddles. He wouldn't eat salad or meatballs or froodles. He thought those were things that could wait. But then one dark day after eating his noodles, not carrots, and oranges, and such healthy froodles, that little boy turned into a noodle. And let that be a lesson to him, me, and youdle.
Shawn:
That couldn't really happen could it?
Luci:
No Shawn, that was just a story. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to remember all four food groups in every meal.
