Have you ever heard of the saying ‘Too much of a good thing is a bad thing’? That is exactly what this game is about. In this game, you play a character that eats too much healthy food. Too much healthy food can be just as bad as fattening food. To make up for being overweight, there are many things that you can do to lose weight or to just become healthier in general. One thing you can do is get rid of unhealthy food, or laziness. Another is to eat healthier and to get more exercise. That is why in this game, you have an energy bar. You need to stay active in order to not die.

In this picture, your average individual spots some French fries. Sadly, looks can be deceiving. He finds out what is in the fries: Junk. The people that make foods like this fully know what they put in their food, they just make it so you come back for more, unaware of what is in the food. Did you know that some chicken nuggets contain dextrose, chicken broth, Aluminum phosphate and calcium lactate. All of these things are terrible for you. Some chicken nuggets are only 44% chicken! We must watch what we put into our bodies, or else we must suffer the consequences.

In this picture, you can see that this man didn’t feel well when he went for a jog. This is because he didn’t eat anything the whole day. When you don’t eat for an entire day, you don’t get the energy that you need for the day. When you go to exercise, you must eat something first. Then you must wait for a little bit, and then you must go. This is because it is easier for you to digest when you are not moving. You get the energy you need from something called calories. Calories are basically the fuel that we need to exercise. Just like a car needs gas to drive, we need calories to exercise. When we run, our body is constantly breaking down the calories to get the energy that we need. If we don’t eat and then exercise, our stomachs will try and find something to break down, so it slowly, yet not very harmfully will break down on itself. This will cause your stomach to hurt. Even though calories can do a lot for us, we must learn to break them down after eating them, because if we don’t break them down, we will slowly start to become unhealthy, so we must burn the calories after we eat them.
