“Picking” the Right Foods to Make the Right Decision
Elegir los Alimentos Correctos A Tomar la Decisión Correcta
By Emily Carlton

I decide to make healthy food choices at school and at home. Would you like to see if I pick the right foods throughout the day?

I decide to eat at least 1 cup of fruit each day at lunch.
