Character Corner - Trustworthiness

Good Nutrition Tip
We need fats to stay healthy, but some fats are better for you than others. For example, transfats are the worst kind of fat. They are found in cakes and cookies that you buy at the store or frosting that comes in a can. You should try to avoid these "transfats". You can do so by making sure you read the Nutrition Facts Label.
