How Yoshi Could Utilize the Food Lovers Diet

By Rob Sutter


It doesn't matter how good or bad the food that video game characters seem to ingest: their physical conditions seem to remain perfect. They are always in the utmost condition, it seems like, though who is truly going to want to be in the shoes of those who are less than perfect? Would a food lovers diet help their performances further? I believe it to be true and I like to think that Yoshi is the one who can seemingly the make the most out of this diet choice.

The green dinosaur friend of the highly-regarded Mario, Yoshi is loyal to him and sticks with the mustachioed man through a number of travels. His ability to hover in the air and consume enemies in order to transform them into eggs is a few of his signatures. People within the gaming world seem to recognize him for those traits, if not for his dino-like appearance. However, one also has to consider his diet apart from the enemies he consumes and it is surprisingly clean.

I think Yoshi would be a perfect candidate for the food lovers diet because the fact that he eats so much in the way of fruit is astounding. This diet calls for a high amount of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins to be consumed and nothing else. It's also one that claims that one can eat as much of these products as possible, which is something that I'm sure has to be attractive to someone like Yoshi. I'm sure his bottom pit of a stomach could be surfaced further by food authorities like Quorn as well.

I think the game where Yoshi seemed to consume fruit the most is in the Nintendo 64 title, "Yoshi's Story." The only way to complete each level is to eat as much fruit as possible until it encircles the boarder entirely, so the game essentially rewards you for doing so. It's probably a good lesson for kids as well since I'm sure they will be more inclined to follow the characters which they like. One might not have believed that such a role model could come from a dinosaur that only speaks its name.

Yoshi seems to follow a stringent diet based around fruit, which is definitely strange to the eye of someone who doesn't play these video games. Dinosaurs are commonly more inclined to consume meat, aren't they? This may be true but Yoshi is a different kind of creature altogether, whose only products seem to come from the likes of vines and bushes. When an animal can eat more healthily than an average human, I strongly believe that it is worth taking into account.-
