A Public Service Announcement
As you plant your sapling, you see two little kids come skipping toward you, arm in arm. They're scattering breadcrumbs behind them, and they're both pretty grimly overweight. "Hello!" the little boy says. "I'm Hans, and zis is my sister, Gretta." "Are you two kids lost?" you say. "Do you need me to find your parents?"
"Nein," Hans says, shaking his head so hard his chins wobble. "Ve are looking for ze vitch's house. Ve haff heard it is made out of delicious candy!"
"Look, kids," you say, "I think the last thing you need is more candy. Childhood obesity is one of the biggest (literally) problems facing our society today. Why don't you go over to Cobb's Knob and check out their menagerie? There are monsters there that are made out of healthy, delicious fruits and vegetables! You could even start by eating that bread you're throwing out. You could probably use the fiber."
"Sank you," Gretta says. "Ve vill try it." The two lock arms and skip away.
"And try jogging instead of skipping! You'll love it!" you shout after them. You feel pretty good about promoting healthy lifestyle choices. You'll have to tell everyone about it when you're getting blind, stinking drunk at the Tavern.
