“I wanted to make something healthy that gave me energy to play sports,”says Jay. “I play outside a lot after school or I have a ballgame and I wanted something good to fill meup. I’m kind of a picky eater, but I love fish and I knew I wanted it to be the main ingredient. My mom adds vegetables in food that I may not see, so I like these better because they are different colors and I can tell which ones I’m eating!” - Jay Wolanzyk, age 10, Alabama
