Grandma, how old are you?

186!

alt text

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?

alt text

How?

alt text

Because I always eat my vegetables!

alt text

Does eating vegetables really make you live longer?

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

alt text

I think the stew is done! It smells good.

alt text

Time for a taste test!

Did we pass?

alt text

Yes! It’s delicious! And healthy too.

alt text

Maybe one day I’ll live to be 186.

Then you better eat your vegetables!
