Healthy Diet and Living; Wednesday, Period One [ 05/13 ].

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

For at least one of these classes, Daisy figured, having the whole thing bright and early in the morning would be good, but she wondered just how much people would want to eat and cook things so early. But, at the same time, she reasoned that they were teenagers. All they did was eat.

So laid out in the classroom was a bunch of food, the fruits of a marathon cooking session last night. Hopefully, it was all normal looking food that they would help themselves to easily without thinking too much on the actual subject of the class, since that sort of ruined the bit Daisy had planned for once class began.

She gave the kids a little time to much and chat or whatever before she came in, dressed fairly conservative for Daisy, in clothes otherwise used only for plainclothes missions. "Morning!" she greeted them brightly. "And, since it is morning, help yourself to the coffee; I've made plenty of it, and a certain amount of caffeine can actually be good for you! And the snacks, too, have a nosh. My name is Daisy Day; I'll admit that I'm not sure I know any of you except Penelope," because Penelope worked at the bar, la, "and if I do know one of you and forgot, I'm really really sorry. Either way, I'm not normally teacher; I'm normally a police officer at the station, but while I'm here, I'm strictly Daisy. Or Miss Day if you're nasty."

"And hopefully you're all aware that you're here for a little course on healthy eating and diet and living! A lot of people have the misconception that eating healthy means eating bland or gross or boring, but this course is to teach you that that is not the case at all. Everything you've been munching on? Healthy for you. And delicious. So, ha. Take that." She gave them all a grin, babbling because, okay, she might have been a little nervous. "Now, we'll cover different things each week, starting with breakfast, if you'll have a look at the syllabus. Today, we're just going to snack and get to know each other, and I'd also like to give you each one of these notebooks. These notebooks will be a food journal; keep track of everything you eat every day, and, every so often, we'll have a little look and see what we can do to make easy little healthier changes to your usual diet."

"So, anyway, introductions. If you don't mind, I'd like to know your name, a little about yourself, whatever you'd like to share, and then what some of your favourite foods are. It'll help if I know what you like, so I can work with that! So go on, go ahead. But don't talk with your mouth full."

Daisy, not for the first time, wished there could be a law against something like encouraging your children to eat like that. Her head shook, just a little.

"Are there any food besides Ho Hos that you particularly like to eat, Penelope?" Maybe something a little more..err...substantial?

She didn't think too long over that. "I do like spaghetti and roasted chicken. Chips too."

"I do know that Ho Ho's are not the most healthy of food choices, Miss Day. But they are my favorite."

"Which is fine," Daisy said quickly. "We've all got our own little weaknesses. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to be healthier..."

And Lord only knew what sorts of things those snacks were really stuffed with...
