Story 1
A Colorful Lunch
By Nina Hernandez
Does your family eat a healthy diet? Our family didn’t.

Our children, Evita and Alberto, ate lunches that weren’t
very healthy. Their food had too much salt, fat, and sugar.
Their bad diet made them tired a lot of the time. We needed
a change.
On our refrigerator, we now have a picture of a food
pyramid. Each color is a different food group. The pyramid
helps us make healthy lunches.

The orange section is
the grains and bread group.
Foods in this group come
from plants like wheat, corn,
and rice. We need to eat
many foods from this group.
They give us energy.
The green section is

vegetables. Evita tells me,
“I like raw carrots in my
lunch.”
Alberto says, “I don’t
like carrots. Broccoli is my
favorite vegetable.”
The red section is fruits.

Fruits and vegetables give us
vitamins. I tell my children
to eat fresh fruit. It has less
sugar than juice does.

The yellow section is oils.
This section is small because
we don’t need much oil in
our diet. Eating too much oil,
or fat, isn’t good. Nuts and
fish are two healthy sources
of oil.
The blue section is for

milk products. These foods
build strong bones and
teeth. Evita and Alberto now
drink milk with their lunch.
Sometimes they also take
some yogurt or a piece of
cheese in their lunch.
The thin purple stripe is

the meat and beans group.
These foods build muscle,
but a small amount of meat
or beans each day is enough.

Evita and Alberto made a color chart to help them plan
their lunches. They wrote their favorite foods for each group.
Now they choose one food from each group for their lunch.
Your family can also make a chart like this. It’s an easy way

A Guide to Planning a Dinner Party

Ho-Yin and Kai-Wah are brothers. They’re both good

cooks. The brothers often invite guests to their house for
dinner. They love to cook food for friends and family.

“It’s important to make a list of things to do,” says Ho-Yin.
“First, choose a good day for the party,” adds his brother.
“Then decide how many guests to invite.”
Ho-Yin likes to invite only one or two guests.
“I like to invite ten or more guests,” says Kai-Wah.
“Choose a healthy menu and make a shopping list,” says
Ho-Yin. “Then shop for fresh foods at a farmers’ market or
grocery store.”

Ho-Yin and Kai-Wah offer these steps for planning
your menu.
Kai-Wah says, “First choose your main dish. It can be fish,
meat, or maybe a vegetable dish. Then select other things to
go with it. Are you going to serve soup or salad? What type of
dessert are you going to make?”
Ho-Yin and Kai-Wah choose simple recipes. They don’t
want to be in the kitchen all day. Then they make their
shopping list. They always go to a farmers’ market for fruits
and vegetables. Vendors there help customers select the
right foods.

These days, people talk a lot about fruits and vegetables.

But many people think these foods are boring.
I visited a cooking school for some interesting ideas. I

I asked the students how to prepare and serve these foods.
Each student picked three foods. Here are their nine favorite

First, Simran picked his three favorite fruits and vegetables.
“Well, my two favorite vegetables are broccoli and string
beans,” he said. “You can do many things with
broccoli. You can eat it raw or cooked. These two
vegetables taste good with grated cheese.
“Raspberries are my favorite fruit. They’re
very sweet. They don’t need much
sugar. I love a bowl of ripe berries
with ice cream.”
