Reggie's Veggies

Despite countless pleadings from his parents, Reginald refused to eat his vegetables. All his folks could do was warn him, "Bad things happen to those who don't eat their vegetables." Reginald did not believe this, as he thought his parents were just trying to have their way.

When Reginald came of legal age, his parents turned him in to the proper authorities. In this case it was the "Agency of Proper Nutrition for Healthy and Well Informed Americans." Research has indicated that well nurished individuals are far more likely to be healthy, successful, and well informed. The agency was formed in 1984 out of growing concern that our country's weakness could be the gradual transformation of our population into a bunch of unhealthy, pathetic, losers. Reginald is not the only victim of malnutrition. Malnutrition can happen to anyone. The effects of malnutrition may be deadly. Reginald and his family are very fortunate that his condition was treated in time. You may not be so lucky.

Next time you are asked to eat a veggie, take some time and think of Reggie.
