Mr Clown and the Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony
Gluttony [gluht-n-ee] –noun
1.) overindulging in eating or drinking
2.) to eat or drink in excess.
While everyone has to eat to live, people should be disciplined enough to eat only in amounts sufficient to remain healthy and fit. Overindulging in food should only occur once in a while, as a special treat or for celebration. Eating too much can lead to indigestion in the short term and in the long term it can lead to obesity, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Of all the horrors facing the children of Green River, childhood obesity is the most alarming. For the past ten years childhood obesity has risen nearly sixty percent! That’s even higher than the fifty-five percent increase in Mr. Clown related punishment deaths! And of all the children in Green River, Dougie McKendrick is the fattest boy. Every week he uses all of his allowance to buy junk food from places like the Burger Hutt, Tennessee Fried Chicken, Taco Shack, and Gemini Pizza. He also buys cupcakes and cake from the Green River Sweet Treat Bakery. And lasagna from the Green River Grocery-Mart, along with cookies, chips, and soda. Then he rushes home and eats everything he possibly can before Mr. and Mrs. McKendrick get home from work. Sometimes he is so gluttonous that it makes him sick and he lies on his back waiting for his belly to stop hurting. And then when his mom tells him dinner is ready, he still goes down and eats even more! For the last few months, Mr. Clown has been keeping an eye on Dougie, hoping he will realize his continued gluttony is going to hurt him in the long run. But, Dougie just hasn’t realized the dangerous road he’s going down. So, Mr. Clown has vowed that Dougie will not be just another childhood obesity statistic. No, not Dougie. Mr. Clown is going to save him from that particular fate.

DON’T SNACK BEFORE BED
It’s ever so important that little children follow good healthy eating habits. Bad eating habits can lead to childhood obesity, which in turn can lead to diabetes. And diabetes and obesity are not to be taken lightly. Mrs. Parker is the Health and Nutrition teacher at Green River Elementary and spends her days teaching children good eating habits, making sure they understand why they should eat well and how they can eat well. One thing she makes sure to tell them is that snacking before bed is a very bad idea. Not only does the body burn fewer calories at night while little children are sleeping, but it’s also bad for their teeth and can cause tooth decay! Of all the little children at Green River, Tommy Parker should know these lessons better than any of them since Mrs. Parker is his mother. But night after night, Tommy creeps to the refrigerator to have one final snack before bed. Some nights he has ice cream, others left-over meatloaf, and some nights it’s cookies. If Mrs. Parker realized this she would be very disappointed in Tommy. Mr. Clown, however, has realized. He’s been keeping a close eye on Tommy’s nightly snack attacks. And, tonight Mr. Clown has decided it’s time to teach Tommy the error of his ways. Let’s hope Tommy enjoys that left-over chicken! Because tonight Mr. Clown is going to make sure it’s Tommy’s last late night snack!

Mr Clown: Don’t Forget To Eat Your Vegetables
Mr. Clown is very concerned that Tobey isn’t eating all of his vegetables. Vegetables are very important for growing children. Packed full of vitamins and minerals they are really good for children to eat, helping kids stay healthy and fit! Sadly… Becky did not eat her vegetables. Instead she ate all of her meat so that she could skip to dessert. So, Mr. Clown had to teach Becky a lesson, hoping that lesson would serve as an example to Tobey and all the little children. It doesn’t look like Tobey is going to forget to eat his all of his vegetables now, does it boys and girls? What would we do without you Mr. Clown?
