You Are What You Eat
By Patti Hutchison 		  
1     Everyone loves to eat! Food gives our bodies energy. It helps keep us alive. Food comes in many different forms. To stay healthy, you should eat different kinds of food.
 
2     Each kind of food helps our bodies in a different way. There are several basic food groups. You should eat some food from each group.
 
3     One food group is protein. Protein helps us build strong muscles. We get protein from meat, fish, and eggs. Some beans and nuts give us protein, too. You should eat at least three protein foods everyday.
 
4     Another food group is dairy foods. These are milk, cheese, and yogurt. Ice cream also is a dairy food. Dairy foods help us have strong bones and teeth. You should have at least three dairy foods every day.
