the night
hallow mam this is Ralph
Judy and Frank invite me to stay for dinner is that right with you?
okay hi
there is something we all enjoy about staying for dinner
ever thought why it's because eating with others
it’s fun
people like to come together at mealtimes
enjoy each others company while they enjoying good food
mealtime its fun for Frank
and it's fun for Judy to
But it's different with Ralph Will you have some peas Ralph
I do not like peas all that's too bad well how about a baked potato then
well okay
Ralph you are not eating remembered at picture we saw what picture?
the picture with the hand and five group of food
oh that was just cork
no Ralph is not enjoying his dinner much maybe it's because that candy bar he had
just before dinner
whatever it is Ralph good time with Frank and Judy
spoiled
the next day is Saturday and Ralphs tired
but frankly judy feel differently
we're going skating today can Ralph come with us well I don't know I think he's got his
room in just a moment let me see
Ralph Frank and Judy are here and want you to go skating with them
hey Frank hi Judy hi
can you go skating on the south side it’s just arrived
i don't feel like going skating thank you anyway
okay that's too bad maybe he can go tomorrow
bye that's how it's been for quite some time
Ralph just hasn't have that habits but he should have and now
Ralph begins to wonder why maybe they're want something more in last week's class
work than he thought
that right hand for instance that his teacher had drawn
five fingers could point the way to health
but what was it now of bread and butter or margarine
milk and cheese is meat and eggs
vegetables and fruits
those are the foods you should eat every day if you want to be healthy
the first one bread and butter or margarine reminds a month cat why
because those are foods and can not has the most energy in class
whole grain breads like whole wheat and rye are specially
good for you do we eat white bread make sure its enriched and rich bread has
vitamins added to it cereals give the same kind of energy and health values
that bread does
especially whole wheat cereals and oatmeal
butter and margarine contain fats they give you energy in a different way
from breads and cereals
butter and 45 margarine have vitamin a in them
which is necessary to good health
the second finger that points to health represents milk and cheese
and somehow they remind Ralph a tallest children in class
that's because milk and cheese help the body grow
no cuz about the most perfect food with various
glass bowl at every meal is good for you
with one more that makes for today
vitamin D milk helps build strong bones and teeth
ralph is decided that must be lots of milk which is given lynda
such a bright smile cheese is a bodybuilder to
and there are many kinds to choose from
the third finger represents meet and eggs and ralph thanks to George right away
because he's a hop skip and a strongest boy in his class
meat and eggs help the body grow make it strong
meat is good for you and has many kinds beef pork and ham
lamb
fish is good so is the chicken and other poultry
and un egg day is good for you too boiled
fried scrambled potsherd anyway meats and eggs are high in protein
which helps build red-blooded strong muscles
the forth finger pointing the way to health represents vegetables
and here ralph thinks a several children in this class
for there are many kinds of vegetables potatoes for instance
hard energy food and baked potatoes
eating with their skins and butter or margarine have lots of vitamins and
minerals to
when it comes to green and yellow vegetables
Ralph think Wenty the prettiest girl in the class
and there so many different kind green vegetables like
string beans asparagus
and broccoli
their salad vegetables like lettuce
many others like celery radishes and carrots
character good cook to and so is squash and
other Yellow vegetable like rutabaga cauliflower and cabbage
good too
yes there are hundreds of wonderful vegetables
the important thing is that all kinds of vegetables a good for you
whether their raw or cooked they're important for
good health a lot of energy and
clear skin and bright eyes
shining clean hair
and above all for that wonderful sense of
feeling good the last finger represents
fruit
and their tow kind some are specially rich in vitamin C
and help ward off some of the diseases that keeping in bed
help cut bruises heal faster to
foods with lots of vitamin C in them
include orange juice grapefruit strawberries
melon and of course whole oranges
certain vegetables like tomatoes abroad cabbage
are also rich and vitamin C you should have a vitamin C food
everyday provide is not stored in the body very long
finally the fruit sweet for dessert
wonderful fruits like apples bananas peaches
pairs palms grapes and many others
not to make good dessert to their rich in
energy proteins vitamins and minerals and now as ralph thinks about it
he realizes that he took the children he admires demand on
all the food I'll and not on just one food charges strong
wendy is pretty lynda has a bright smile
and Kanot has alot of pits not because if anyone food that they eat
because they eat some of all kinds of food
for it takes five fingers to point the way
to healthful eating habits
and Ralph goes over them in his mind
everyday eat bread-and-butter
milk and cheese meat and eggs vegetables
fruits and
a vitamin C food thinking about all this food is made him
hungry he has a candy bar around as usual
but now Ralph has a better idea why he shouldn't
let candy and sweets substitute for other foods
sweet don't have the proteins vitamins and minerals
the body building quality is a other foods so for the next few months
throughout for really worked at learning to read
all kinds of foods Ralph would you like some peas
okay well what happened to you example
everything that was served to earn and even if it did happen to be a food that
he preferred
he'd eat some a bit anyway
at night he'd go over the five food groups
and see how he had done that day
after a month or two of this Ralph suddenly realize that a slow
change if taken place without his noticing it he found that
eating become fun what's more
his health was better and he had more pits
he had more fun than they used to
and more friends
and all because he had learned to eat by counting his food
in his fingers
done
done
