The Dinosaur Party Candidates: John Quincy Public

Dear American Public,

Due to building constraints, I won't be able to join you this evening or during any of the debates. Some of my fellow candidates have previously expressed their opinions that my size is a disability. I prefer to think that I'm showcasing to children everywhere that being healthy is more important than trying to fit some kind of preconceived idea of beauty. In fact, health is one of my biggest issues. 

It's tragic how far down Americans have gone in just a few decades. I firmly believe we need to be teaching our children proper food education in our schools. Personally, I'm a vegetarian, but I do understand others preferring to add meat to their diets. However, fruits and vegetables should always be at the base of the pyramid. I would also like to introduce a special program targeting children that I feel will encourage them to live healthy. "Play With Your Food" will emphasize that you can have fun while eating healthy. Take for instance broccoli. By children pretending they're dinosaurs, the broccoli is suddenly transformed into a tree top, which they must chomp through. Such is a small example of many fun ideas that will appeal to kids of all ages.

In closing, whoever keeps taping a sign to my back that says "wide load", please stop.
