Grandma, how old are you?

186!

What?! You can’t be that old.

I’m only joking! But I’m still old. And do you know how I’ve lived this long?

Image

How?

Image
alt text

Because I always eat my vegetables!

Does eating vegetables really make you live longer?

It helps! When we take care of our bodies, God blesses us with strength and energy.

I think the stew is done! It smells good.

Time for a taste test!

Did we pass?

Image
alt text

Yes! It’s delicious! And healthy too.

Maybe one day I’ll live to be 186.

Then you better eat your vegetables!
