It’s Booger. Today, Goober made me eat all healthy meals. And you know what? It wasn’t so bad. For breakfast, I had whole grain toast with peanut butter. That was pretty tasty. And then he cut up a big bowl of strawberries and mixed it up with some yogurt. It was really good! It almost tasted like ice cream! At lunch time, Goober made me a whole wheat pizza with turkey pepperoni and tomato slices on top. It was delicious! It was just like a real pizza! I guess that’s because it WAS a real pizza.

Whole wheat? Who wants whole wheat? I like white bread – the whiter the better! I’m also supposed to eat dairy stuff like milk and cheese and yogurt. I told Goober that cheese puffs seem like a good balance of dairy and grains to me. Seriously – what’s wrong with that? Goober says I need to make sure that I have a mixture of everything on my plate at mealtime, and that the more colors I see on my plate the better. When I said that if I had jelly beans for dinner I’d get lots of colors … Read more →
