Parents in the Nutrition Fair tried the station called, You Are What You Eat. They named all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I think the parents had a hard time on the ear, the ear was a sliced pepper. Probably the easiest one was the lower arm and it was the corn on the cob. The hardest one was the toes they were radishes. When the parents finished and they identified 10 fruits and veggies right they received a sticker!
