Hello Webkinz Newz readers, it’s Ella McWoof, your official “Webkinz Votes 2014” reporter.
Daisy Doe recently moved to town and famously held Kinzville’s first ever Veggie Fest this past September. Chef Doe surprised us all when she announced that she’d be running for mayor of Kinzville, launching the “Webkinz Votes 2014” mayoral race. Originally she stated that if she were to become mayor she would close down Mr. Moo’s ice cream cart and replace it with a healthy snack stand as well as replace the unhealthy food in the W-Shop with healthier alternatives. On the other hand, she has promised to increase the health boosts of all food in the W-Shop. In a shocking twist of events, she has formed a partnership with Mr. Moo and has announced that she will no longer close his ice cream stand if she were to be elected. In fact, Mr. Moo recently stated that he supports Daisy Doe’s campaign 100%. You can read the full story HERE.
Today I’m in studio for a special one on one interview with “Webkinz Votes 2014” mayoral candidate, Daisy Doe!”
ELLA: Daisy, thank you for joining me today.
DAISY: Thank you!
ELLA: When you first arrived in town you were very popular however, the latest “Webkinz Votes 2014” poll shows that you only have about 5% support from the residents of Kinzville. Why do you think that this is the case?
DAISY: I think that there was concern that I would be putting Mr. Moo out of a job when I announced that I would be closing his cart which was never my intention. I was thinking that he could actually run the healthy snack stand and continue to work in the park where I know he is well loved. There have been a few rumors floating around ever since I announced I’d be running for mayor. I hope I can clear things up today.
ELLA: What other rumors have there been?
DAISY: I have read that some believe that I would remove or replace all the “unhealthy” Pet Specific Foods from the W-Shop if I were elected. I would never do that. That is very special food that makes each Webkinz unique. I have also heard rumors that I would somehow cancel Halloween or Christmas if I were to be elected. Once again this is just a rumor. I really enjoy the holidays. In fact, I was handing out healthy treats to many trick-or-treaters last week.
ELLA: If you were elected as mayor, which foods from the W-Shop would you remove?
DAISY: There are many healthy food options in the W-Shop but there is also some food that is just out right unhealthy. For example, Corn Dogs, Chicken Nuggets and French Fries are deep fried foods that are high in calories, salt, sugar and fat. I would definitely remove these. I would also choose to remove most of the soda from the W-Shop. Soda has been linked to obesity and illness. It’s also loaded with sugar and artificial flavors and colors.
ELLA: What about deserts like Cherry Pie?
DAISY: Ella, I am passionate about healthy eating… I’m not a monster :) There’s nothing more comforting than a nice slice of pie once and a while. I would have to remove Cheesecake as an option though. It’s full of sugar, sodium and saturated fats.
ELLA: Okay, what foods would you keep in the W-Shop that might surprise our readers?
DAISY: I would keep Candy Apples, Carrot Cake and Chocolate milk. Sometimes we need a little encouragement to eat healthy.
ELLA: Is there anything else you would like to say regarding your campaign?
DAISY: I wanted to say “good luck” to all the other candidates that are in the running. I consider them all friends and I think voters will have a tough decision to make at the end of November. There are a lot of interesting ideas that each of them bring to the table. This election is truly a historic event and I am proud to be a part of it.

Sorry for so many comments. I most of the time never comment, but for some reason, it’s hard trying not to, especially now. I just wanted to say my thoughts on the mayor race. Daisy is a great host and all, and it’s great she likes healthy eating, but she’s still going to take away “unhealthy” foods. Personally, I think having these foods makes Webkinz unique and fun. I mean, Webkinz could’ve chose to have our pets eat whatever their species would probably eat. For example, cows would eat grass, birds would eat bugs, etc. But its not. You can feed your pet whatever you want and even make recipes for them. I have been a Webkinz member since 2007, which was 2 years after Webkinz launched, and have been here for a long time since I was pretty young. At one point, I almost left Webkinz because I thought I was “too old” for it, but somehow it drew me back to play it. I have experienced many changes through the years. One thing that hasn’t changed was the ability to make fun recipes and feed your pet whatever. If Daisy wins, this’ll all change. Most recipes will be gone. Most pets favorite foods will be gone, too. Not to mention, Daisy has been here for a very short time, only a few months. Tabby and Dex have been there since I started, and Ms. Cowoline, Cowabelle, and Sheldon have been here for at least a few years, so they know Kinzville. All I’m saying is that these choices can impact Webkinz, some good changes, some not so great. I like Daisy, she’s a great person, but I don’t think she should be mayor. Part of it is because of her being new and part of it the choices she’ll make.
What about all the recipes? If Daisy removes unhealthy food, then so many recipes won’t be able to be made or solved! I also want to see more interviews of other candidates, why does Doe get all the coverage?
Uh oh . . . . Daisy is probably going to get a lot more votes. NO to Daisy DOE! My favourite pets’ favourite food is cake! #JoinTheAdventure
I am still not going to vote for her. She is taking away one of my pets favorite foods, and there are so many recipes we won’t be able to make for our pets any more. I love making the recipes in the books from the w shop!!!
Right now Daisy is in 2nd place in the poll! Hopefully that will change soon! By the way, it seems like Daisy keeps changing her decisions based on her poll numbers. Is she changing her attitude for votes?! Hopefully she’s not! :(
In a way, I hope these elections end soon. :(
Same. This election seems to be getting out of hand. I said I was voting for Daisy Doe and then someone offered to send me couches just to support Cowabelle!! lol. :) About one more month and it will be over.
Yeah. I wouldn’t pressure you to vote for anyone else. It’s fine if you want to vote for Daisy. I won’t be voting for her because I might want to vote for Tabby, but anyone can vote for whoever they want. ;)
I like daisy doe!!!! I will vote for her.
Vote Doe! Her ideas are great and she seems like she would be a great leader!! :)
I still say it is wrong for her to remove foods. Whether some foods unhealthy of not it is not her right to keep us from eating what we want. This is how tyranny begins.
IRK???
One of my pets fave food is cake…
Do you know what this will do? Some Webkinz will lose their favorite foods. Also, some of the secret recipes won’t work anymore because their ingredients will be gone. Daisy, the citizens of Webkinz respect you saving Mr. Moo and all, but say no to Daisy Doe and #changerightmeow or #jointheadventure.
