Eating Right - Kid Style
    Here are some remarks collected by Connie Evers when she asked third and fourth graders to define "eating right":
  • "Eating right means for me to choose the right food for my body so I can grow and not turn my muscles into fat."
  • "To eat vegetables and not fat food."
  • "It is when you eat food from the food groups – fruit, vegetables, meats, and another thing but I forgot what it is."
  • "Not eating more than your stomach can hold."
  • "I think eating right means to be polite like can you please pass the gravy. And you have to have manners like do not eat like a dog."
