Satire, Machiavelli, and Junk Food

Today in history the kids studied Machiavelli and then had to write a satire-- 10 Good Reasons to Eat Junk Food.

This is what they came up with:

10 Good Reasons to Eat Junk Food:

Some junk foods have lots of sugar and that gives you energy.
Sugar rots your teeth and dentists need to make money.
There is such a thing as too healthy.
Cavities need a home, too.
Junk food is a cure for skinniness.
The extra packages from processed food can fill all the empty spots on the earth.
More crumbs for the little critters.
Chocolate says "I love you" better than broccoli.
Police needed something to go with their coffee.
You get money from the tooth fairy faster.
