Eating Healthy
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.
“You can’t keep eating this stuff!” Ethan’s mom complained.
“Why? It tastes so good.”
His mother frowned and crossed her arms. “You eat too much sugar.”
“Yum! Sugar.” Ethan smiled happily.
“Look at what you’re eating for breakfast.”
Ethan looked at the food in front of him. It looked good to him.
“I’m having juice, super rainbow sugar sprinkle krispies, and a
donut.” He smiled and took a bite of his glazed, jelly-filled donut.
He chewed and then stopped when his teeth began to ache.
“Ethan, you’re going to have to go to the dentist if you’re getting
cavities.”
“No, I’m not!” Ethan denied it. He took another bite to prove he was
fine. His teeth really ached, though.
“See?” His mother sighed.
“Why do all the delicious things have to be bad for me? I can’t eat
broccoli forever. I’m not a rabbit.”
“I know, but you don’t 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!” His mother explained. “If you can’t
start making healthy choices more often, I won’t buy any
junk food or sweets to keep in the house for snacks.”
“That’s not fair!” Ethan whined.
Whining didn’t work with mother. It made her more
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, bacon, some fresh fruit, and a glass of milk.”
“That doesn’t sound too bad.”
“I’m 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?”
Ethan didn’t want to agree, but his mom’s suggestion wasn’t really that
bad. Maybe his teeth wouldn’t hurt so much anymore, either. He really
didn’t like trips to the dentist.
