Leg Calculations for Good Health

We have an exercise video that the kids enjoy. After the exercise segment one day, William and Andrew decided to watch the feature about healthy eating. The exercise guru began explaining about the best proteins, saying, "The fewer legs the better. Fish is better than chicken, and chicken is better than beef."

I should have noticed four-year-old Andrew's wheels turning, but I didn't. (I was probably busy thinking about our less-than-ideal diet.)

A full minute or so later, Andrew pipes up and says, mostly to himself, "WHOA! Octopuses are really bad for you."
