The girls will have to use their fourth and fifth grade math skills (aren't my meetings fun and nothing like school?) to figure out which of these snacks and drinks they can eat in a day. They'll have to pick what they want to eat, add up the sugar grams, divide by four and repeat until they come up with something less than eight. I've included strawberries and bananas to illustrate the difference between natural sugar from fruit and globs of added refined sugar in junk food.
Spoiler alert: no one is going to be drinking that whole can of Barq's root beer. My twelve-year-old self is devastated.
