12. LEAN KIDS SAY:“Hydrogenated fats are bad fats. They inject foods with hydrogen so they can sit on the shelves. Then in a few years you can say, ‘Look, it’s the doughnuts we got three years ago! They look as good as new!’ Hydrogenated fats clog up your arteries. My grandpa had this sort of problem. He died when he was fifty-five years old, before I was born. It’s good to have goods last a long time, but how long your body lasts is a lot more important than how long your food lasts. I wish I had my grandpa.”JACOB, AGE NINE
