VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Hi I'm blueberry and I'm a green pea. We're the frozen kind. We were just hanging out in this yummy salad, but we thought we'd tell you our story. We're going on a trip! Yeah, it'll take us two to four days maybe. I can't wait. This kid is going to eat us and we're gonna make him healthy! Yeah, oh here comes a fork! It tickles! This is the first place where we get to work. Yeah, while this kid chews us, the good stuff we're made of it just broken down so it's body can use it. We have to get crushed first so we're going to change shape. Oh here goes. Now I'm a bit loose and goopy. Me too. Look at me really close up. You see what I'm made of super small bits that were stuck together. I hope he chews me well. The more he chews, the more I can spread around. Yeah we mix it the watery stuff in the mouth called saliva. Hey saliva! To spread out even more.
Hey the big slime is coming. I've heard about this. We're going down the esophagus now. It's a long tunnel down to the stomach. Why isn't the stomach near the mouth? I don't know but what goes on in the stomach - maybe you need space?Yeah. It sounds like a party going on. I can hear it now. Hey it's a pool party. Ah Green Pea! You're dissolving! What is this stuff? This is stomach acid. It breaks down the food into mush and the good bits in the food will be released. Really? Yeah, I'm breaking up. Now I can spread out all over. Now comes the really long tunnel, I'm gonna call it a tickle tube. Oh boy! Look close. This is the small intestine and I have little fingers called villi that tickle me. Those aren't fingers- they help us spread even more. Look really close, both of us are being sent somewhere. Oh yeah - that's what I'm talking about.
Yeah and since we have some things a body needs, called nutrients, I think we'll get to hang around for a long time. Which organ do you want to be sent to? I don't know, but my favorite is the heart. Yeah? Mine's the liver. Why? Cause he's the guy that chooses us nutrients, I want to be on his good side. What? Yeah, this one passes through his tunnels and you decide whether or not we stay, so look sharp. Well I'm a vitamin A and I'll be here for a while. I'm a vitamin too, but I forget which one. Oh oh I'm an amino acid - they'll choose me for sure. I'm fibre. Oooh fiber. What? You go to the other place. Really? That's bad? Oops sorry, we have to go. Oh, we're in the blood stream. It's the super highway of the body. Wow! This is the best place, you can go anywhere from here. Why are we going? Coming to the organs now. I can't wait. It's taking forever. What do you think will happen to fibre? Oh he'll stay in the intestines. The villi won't take him, he's bulky. Is that bad? No there should be a lots of other fibre with him. I'm a blueberry and blueberries have lots of every thing - vitamins and fibre, so he won't be alone. The villi will push him down the long tunnel of intestine until he gets together with other fibre. Fibre has an important job. What? Really? How? People eat it and not everything in the food can be used by the body. Fibre has a way to get rid of unwanted parts of food. You mean fibre's leaving the body? Yeah, he goes together with the others and helps get rid of all the stuff that bothers. So, he's gone? I feel like a part of me has left. But without him doing that we keep fighting for spacing around here and it would make us all sick. Ah fibre's a hero. I'm so proud of fibre. Hey. We're stopping. So where are we now? Looks like, whoa, we're in brain! Wow! We must be really good vitamins. Every vitamins good for different parts of the body - we must be good for the brain.
