OKM: Tell me about the time you had
a Chickadee. Was it any fun?
Sage: Oh yeah. It was really fun and
delicious.
OKM: What was fun about it?
Sage: Just cutting up the berries and
stuff.
OKM: Do you like fruit?
Sage: Yeah I do. There was yogurt and
Granola.
OKM: Do you know what yogurt is?
Sage: Kind of.
OKM: That's OK, I'm not sure I do
either. What did you learn about
healthy eating?
Sage: I think that it was healthy
because it didn't have sugar you could
pour on it. But it was sweet because
of the berries.
OKM: Is that something you could
make at home by yourself ?
Sage: Yeah.
OKM: What do you want your friends
to know about trying something like
that? It's not really kid food... or is it?
Sage: It's really fun to make it and you
can have a lot of fun eating it too.
Jasper F.

Jasper: Smell ma poo! Get it?
OKM: I got it.
OKM: Tell me about the time you had
with your sister and brother and
mom the other day?
Jasper: It was really fun. I enjoyed
cutting up fruit.
Sage, Jasper and Pax'
mom, Rochelle F., knows the
importance of healthy eating.
"I think the more green food
that you eat from a vine, the
ground or a tree, the healthier
your body can be," the licensed
massage therapist said. "The
vitamins are important. The
stronger you grow the better
your brain can work because
you have the right nutrients in
your body."
Rochelle said she often
explains the benefits of healthy
eating to the three boys.
"We talk a lot about 'grow
food' at our house," she said.
"We have 'grow food' and
'sometimes food.' Junk food is
'sometime food.' We talk about
what we have on out plate and
when we eat a meal, and why
we eat what we eat when we
come home from school."
Healthy eating is always a
good idea, but kids don't live on
"grow food" alone.
"It's OK to have a cookie
sometimes," she added. "But,
maybe we should have fruit
and peanut butter or fruit and
yogurt, too. We often have
granolas and yogurt, but we
don't always have fruit in it. I
think adding the fruit they really
enjoyed it. If you add a fruit it's
a good sweet. It's a grow sweet.
It's not a sometimes sweet."
