Eating Healthy
Story By: Andrew Frinkle
Narrator : Ethan loved eating chicken nuggets, pizza, fries, and burgers. To drink,
he always liked milk shakes, cola, or sugary drinks. The sweeter it
was, the more he liked it.
Mom : You cant keep eating this stuff! [scolding]
Ethan : Why? It tastes so good. [chewing his donut]
Mom : You eat too much sugar. [Frowned and crossed her
arms]
Ethan : Yum! Sugar! [smiled happily]
Mom :Look at what youre eating for breakfast. [pointing at Ethans food]
Ethan : [looked at the food in front of him]
Im having Juice, super rainbow sugar sprinkle krispies, and a donut. [smiled
and took a bite of his glazed, jelly-filled donut. He chewed and then stopped
when his teeth began to ache.] Ouchh!!

Mom : Ethan, youre going to have to go to the dentist if youre getting cavities.
Ethan : No, Im not! [took another bite to prove he was fine] Ouchhhh!!
Mom : See?
Ethan : Why do all the delicious things have to be bad for me? I cant eat broccoli
forever. Im not a rabbit.
Mom : I know, but you dont get all the vitamins and minerals you need from the
stuff you like to eat. All that food is sugar and fat. You need good food for
healthy teeth, eyes, and even your brain! If you cant start making healthy
choices more often, I wont buy any junk food or sweets to keep in the
house for snacks !
Ethan : Thats not fair!
Mom : [being serious] Snacks are supposed to be occasional treats, not your
regular meals. I should have bought more healthy breakfast foods for you.
Tomorrow you will have eggs, toast without jam, some fresh fruits, and a
glass of milk.
Ethan : That doesnt sound too bad.
Mom : Im not going to put all these sweets in your lunch anymore, either. You
will get yogurt, raisins, or fresh fruit for your dessert in your lunch, okay?
Narrator
: Ethan didnt want to agree, but his moms suggestion wasnt really
that bad. Maybe his teeth wouldnt hurt so much anymore, either. He really
didnt like trips to the dentist.
