Once, in the vibrant town of Garfield, lived a group of young friends called the Little Healthy Heroes. They enjoyed playing, learning, and especially eating delicious, nutritious foods! 

Adam is the adventurer of the group. He loves to explore and discover new foods.

"There's a trail of carrots, I wonder where it leads", says Adam.

Harmony the brave is not afraid to try new foods. Not even her greens!

"Look there's a picnic table, full of fruits and vegetables to help us stay strong and healthy!", said Harmony.

George is the curious one of the group. He likes to create with his food.

"Curious crafters can become adventurous eaters!", says George. (Action For Healthy Kids, 2024)

One sunny day the Little Healthy Heros were strolling through a park and spotted a family having a picnic. Suddenly, they had an idea!

"Let's have a picnic to show everyone in Garfield how yummy and fun healthy eating could be!", shouted Harmony eagerly. George added, " We can make a rainbow salad out of tomatoes, carrots, spinach, and blueberries!" Adam shouted excitedly, " Let's make it an adventure, a food adventure!"

"Fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins and natural sugars known as fructose, which are good for our bodies." Explained Harmony. (Groark & Song, 2012).

The Little Healthy Heros know how important fruits and vegetables are, so they had a rainbow of fruits and vegetables for the picnic.

Whole grains provide fibre, protein, and carbohydrates that our bodies need to grow. (Healthy Kids Association, n.d).

They chose brown rice, whole wheat bread, and oats for the picnic.

"Whole grains give us energy to play all day, and help us feel full and happy!", George said eagerly. (Groark & Song, 2012).
