The Dinosaur Party Candidates: John Quincy Public






John Quincy Public
(Brachiosaurus - Herbivore)


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.

  1. Good idea about the broccoli. I'm afraid my chocolate-loving grandchildren would see through it. How about chocolate on top of the broccoli?

    I like that you want to help the health of America. I would actually like it if you passed laws banning eating meat. Let's let the animals live, stop breeding them and cut down on the farting that causes global warming. What do you think?

  4. Nah - can't get behind this one. Educating kids on their eating habits belongs to their parents and family physicians - not the schools. Besides, steak trumps veggies for me any day. Hmmm...wonder what a dinosaur steak would taste like.

  5. I think he's onto (or on) something but I'm with Belle. Chocolate should be at the base of the food pyramid.

  6. Nah, children will not and should not eat broccoli. I don't think I can back this candidate as I'm a life time member of the eat more meat party...

  10. Some of us just have the GENETICS to be bigger or smaller than others. I like a candidate who gets that...and gets a side of onion rings with his burger.
