Whyville has recently been going through a lot of changes. First, we had the addition of WhOI (the Whyville Oceangraphic Institute), and now we have a new game . . . WhyEat. With this new game we can eat on Whyville, even in the chat rooms with our friends!

If you have clicked on your satchel recently you've seen the new addition of the WhyEat Health Journal. You will be rewarded if you can learn how to eat healthy. To join the game, click on this journal.

Once you have joined the game you can go to the Whyville Market and buy your food! The entrance to the Whyville Market is in the Food Court. You will get 2,000 food tickets each day that go towards your purchases. Tickets cannot be saved from day to day and cannot be exchanged between Whyvillians. Any tickets not used that day will simply be "lost."

You can eat your food through your Health Journal, or do so in chat by saying "Eat (food)." Insert whatever it is that you desire to eat in place of food. Food can be dropped for others to pick up (remember the five second rule ;)) or even thrown as projectiles.

Be careful with the choices you make in regards to what you decide to eat. There are short term and long term consequences for poor or unhealthy diets. Here is an example of scyllcat healthy, and unhealthy:

Healthy:

Unhealthy:

My favorite type of food is Mexican, so I'll be eating lots of tacos! I hope you all get involved in the game, and remember to eat healthy!
