Blueberry Boy

By:

The Story:  In the game Blueberry Boy, a child named John has eaten an incredibly unhealthy amount of french fries for a long period of time. The french fries and his unhealthy diet take its toll on him, and his friend realizes that, in order for john to feel better, he must include nutritious foods such as fruits in his diet.

The Healthy Eating Lesson:  The reason John is feeling so bad is that french fries don't contain antioxidants. Antioxidants are cells in foods like blueberries, for example, that fight free radicals in your body. Free radicals are cells that harm your body's cells, making them free radicals, too. Soon, every molecule will be a free radical, and the living organism in which they reside will die. Remember, in order for you to be happy and stay healthy, do not follow John's example and eat junk food excessively. Be sure to include fruits and other foods in your body that will give you energy and antioxidants. These should include foods containind vitamins A,C,E,Cartenoids, and Selenium. Examples of foods containing these would be: beans, grain products, fruits, and vegetables.

Since John has no antioxidants in his body, there is nothing for him to fight off the free radicals taking over his body.

The Objective:  Drop down multiple levels while trying to dodge dangerous french fries that are trying to harm John. If all of those french fries get in John's digestive system, it will be REALLY bad for him.
