Foods from both plants and animals contain protein. Meat, fish, eggs,

beans, nuts, and milk are the main sources. Think barbecued chicken,

peanut butter, baked beans, grilled shrimp, a cheesy omelette, or a ham-

burger. It’s good that protein is so easy to come by, because protein is

needed by your muscles, bones, skin, blood, hair, and even your finger-

nails—every cell in your body!

Warm-from-the-oven bread. Jasmine rice and pizza crust, noodles

and tortillas. Sweet granola. Oatmeal cookies. Usually we eat grains

cooked—baked into breads or cereals, boiled for pasta or soups, or

steamed into pilafs. All grains come from plants, and they give you the

energy to move, to think, and to run every system in the body.
