Hello, My name is Henry and this is my class. We do lots of fun things at school!

But my favorite time of the day is lunch!

My favorite food is anything with SUGAR!

One day I ate so much sugary food that I got really sick and had to leave school early!

I had to go to the doctor. The doctor asked me if I ate a balanced meal. I did not know what that meant!

The doctor explained: When you do not eat healthy foods you can get very sick. Your body may feel very tired because your body is not getting the vitamins it needs to stay strong!

"Henry." Said the doctor. You need to have a well-balanced diet. To create a well-balanced diet we can use MyPlate! MyPlate tells us what we should eat in all of our meals.
