Have your parents or teachers told you sayings about foods that just don't make sense? Because food is such a big part of our lives, many sayings come from food. Here are a few:

Too many cooks in the kitchen – If there are too many people working on a project (or a meal), it may get sidetracked by arguing or different opinions.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away – Eating fruits and vegetables, and other healthy foods, will help you stay healthy and strong.

Don't bite off more than you can chew – When you're doing something like chores, don't try to do too much. Only work on one thing at a time. Otherwise you might get overwhelmed.

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade – When something bad happens, try to make the best out of it. Like if you get a bad score on a test, study harder next time.

Now that you understand some of the crazy sayings people say, you can say them to others too! Be sure to save some lettuce (money) and deposit it into your savings account. We'll help you save for a rainy day.
