Webkinz Votes 2014: Ella Interviews Daisy Doe

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.
