dr carrot do youi awalys eat healy os junk food did you see us in tv it was cool
Hi, Jennifer.
I try to eat healthy most of the time because then, the food tastes especially good, and I FEEL especially good. I’ve noticed that if I eat junk food, then my taste buds kind of fall asleep, and it’s harder for me to taste the wonderful flavors in foods such as celery, lettuce, tomatoes, brocolli, cucumbers, plus foods such as chicken and fish. I love the taste of these natural foods, and especially when my taste buds aren’t sleepy and sluggish because of junk food.
Yes, I did see you on CBS Channel 4. All of you in the Ashley reporting team did great, explaining what you’re learning about nutrition and how you’re helping the Eatyourradio project. I’m sure your teachers are very proud of the wonderful job you did. I know I am!
