Character Corner - Trustworthiness Be honest. Don't deceive, cheat or steal. Be reliable - do what you say you will do. Have the courage to do the right thing. Build a good reputation. Be loyal - stand by your family, friends and country. Good Nutrition Tip We need fats to stay healthy, but some fats are better for you than others. For example, transfats are the worst kind of fat. They are found in cakes and cookies that you buy at the store or frosting that comes in a can. You should try to avoid these "transfats". You can do so by making sure you read the Nutrition Facts Label.
