Food For Thought

      Your entire school class will soon be going on a picnic. The teachers have been so busy making plans about what activities and games to play, that they forgot about bringing any food! The bus is leaving for the park now, but there is one grocery store on the way that you plan to stop at. Before you start picking, you should make sure you know about the many different food groups that you have studied in class, and think about the Food Guide Pyramid. Remember, your job is very important. Today, over 67% of Americans are over weight, they are more likely to live shorter lives with more health problems.
