Rooney\’s sustainable community helpers from the publication section for K-12. Sample Text From The Literacy Lesson HEALTHY EATING AND SAFETY Sometimes when we do not eat a balanced diet with fresh vegetables and fruits, we can get sick. If our bodies shut down from no food or if we eat a bad diet of junk food for a long time, without eating fruits and vegetables, our bodies can start to send us a message to eat better. A person can faint, tremble, or become very ill. When this happens, emergency, safety officers, and volunteers intervene to help out.
