There once lived a group of 

superheroes: Carbohydrate Chris, 

Protein Polly, Lipid Lily, Vitamin 

Vivian, Mineral Manny, and Amino 

Alex. They knew all about healthy 

eating. 

The food heroes met at the 

Health Meeting Center and 

decided they must take 

action right away. So they 

headed to Junk Food 

Junction to teach everyone an 

important lesson. 

Sadly, they heard about a new 

place called Junk Food Junction, 

where people ate new food that 

was BAD for their bodies. They 

knew they had to do something 

about it or there would be a 

disaster!

So the superheroes flew to Junk 

Food Junction to teach the 

citizens of the town an important 

lesson about eating healthy and 

the nutrients the body needs.

Carbohydrate Chris stepped up on a 

pail just outside the junction and 

yelled: "ATTENTION PLEASE!" 

Everyone looked up at him 

expectantly. He began his speech. 

"The food here doesn't give you all 

what you need!"

"I'm Chris Carbohydrate, and my superpower is that I 

provide people with most of the energy they need. I 

come in two forms: simple carbohydrates are sugars and 

come in white bread. Complex carbohydrates are 

healthier and made of dietary fiber and starch. They're 

found in whole grain products. Carbohydrates are made 

up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A substance made 

of carbon is organic. If it has no carbon, it is inorganic. 

Carbohydrates are found in fruits, vegetables, grains, 

and milk. They are stored as glucose in plants and 

glycogen in animals. Glucose is used by animals to create 

the energy store in the cell."
