Apto April prompt #13: Academics.
Remember those school pageants about nutrition, where all the kids had to dress up as foods, and get their moms to make the costumes, and if mom was lucky her kid wouldn't wait till the night before the pageant to tell her about it? Did those pageants ever actually exist other than in cartoons and sitcoms? Anyway, here's a classroomsworth of kids being bused to the Downtown Monster Shop to be transformed into foods so they can orate awkwardly about the Food Pyramid or Food Plate or whatever we're supposed to be using nowadays.
