Georgie and I did an oral presentation in fifth grade about junk food. Like I wrote in Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything, if you have to do an oral report, you have my permission to use this for your school presentation. (Tell me if you do by commenting below!) Of course you should tell your teacher that it comes from Cheesie Mack. Otherwise, it’s cheating… and, c’mon, you’ll probably get just as good a grade if you don’t cheat.
Here goes. I did the talking; Georgie did everything else.
.
Boys and Girls of Ms. Higgins’ fifth-grade class:
You’ve probably heard that you should eat foods from all of the important Food Groups like vegetables, fruits, meats, grains, and other good stuff.
This is actually a picture of a bar of soap. I found it on the internet. I asked Mom to buy me one, but she said, "No way. Too weird." (If you think you can convince your mother, click the image.)
That’s true if you’re thinking about good health and stuff like that. But what about junk food? There are Food Groups for junk food, too. The four Junk Food Groups are Salt, Sugar, Grease, and Starch.
The Perfect Junk Food should have lots of all four of the Junk Food Groups and not much other so-called good stuff like protein, fiber, or vitamins.
How about glazed donuts? That might be a good choice. They have huge amounts of Sugar, Grease, and Starch. Also, not much good stuff. That’s three of the all-important Junk Food Groups. But they don’t have anywhere near enough Salt to qualify as the Perfect Junk Food. You can try to fix that problem…
…but you probably won’t like the result. After extensive research, however, we discovered there is a lot of sugar in ketchup.
Therefore, the Perfect Junk Food is French fries with ketchup. Delicious, readily available almost everywhere, and with plenty of Salt, Sugar, Grease, and Starch…the perfect balance of all four Junk Food Groups.
Good luck! Let me know what you did and how it turned out.

Ms. Julie Higgins, an excellent teacher I work with at Blossom Hill Elementary School, recommended your book/website and I’ve got to say: I LOVE IT! If the book is as fun to read as the web pages, my fourth-graders will go crazy over it. Looking forward to publication.

What an honor! This is my favorite book.
Thanks, Ms. Higgins! I hope my sixth-grade teachers will be as cool as you.
