Your Body’s Super-Fuel
Just like a car needs the right gas to run, our bodies need the right food to work properly. When someone doesn’t get enough healthy food, or doesn’t get the right kinds of food, it’s called malnutrition. That’s when our body’s super-powers start to feel weak!

Without enough good food, kids might:
- Feel too tired to play
