Synopsis[]

After neglecting to bring his home lunch today, Adam is sickened of animal foods being served in the cafeteria.

Plot[]

Adam gets in the lunch line and Mrs. Tusk, the cafeteria lady, berates him for failing to show up for so long. Adam says he forgot to bring his lunch from home, so now he's obligated to get the gross animal food from the lunch line. Mrs. Tusk serves him a Wormy Joe and he unhappily takes it to the table with his friends, who love their animal food. Adam puts off eating it, since it's so disgusting, but Jake tells him that he shouldn't knock it, 'til he tries it.

Later in gym class, Adam falls behind, because he doesn't have the proper nourishment to get him through the day. Coach Gills overreacts to this, thinking he's over-exterted. Adam is then sent to Nurse Gazelle, who thinks he has an eating disorder, sending him to Mr. Mandrill, who thinks he's going on a hunger strike, sending him to Principal Pixiefrog, who thinks he's trying to sue the school over the options for lunch, making him conform to Adam's wishes without him saying much at all.

The next day, Adam is joyed to see delicious human food is added to the menu, such as pizza, burgers, and corndogs. The animals on the other hand, are completely repusled by this. Adam reminds his gang about Jake's "Don't knock it 'til you try it." from earlier, prompting Jake to give the food a try. After a miniscule bite of pizza, Jake instantly goes insane for the food and gobbles the rest of it down. It's not long before this trend catches on with the rest of the pack and later, the rest of the school.

As the week goes by, students and teachers, alike, eat more and more of this human food, to the point, where they all become extremely overweight. Eventually, they can no longer function in gym and even reinforced steel chairs can't support their weight anymore. Adam realizes that this as a problem and needs to stop it before the school is full of fatties.

Adam, the only athletic student in the school, climbs up a vine with the last plate of tater tots and the fat animals rampage at him for taking the last plate. Jake gives them all the idea to pull on the vines, until the ceiling collapses, but Adam threatens to sue the school if he gets hurt, making Principal Pixiefrog finally put an end to the madness. After that, the school lunch menu goes back to normal and Adam goes back to bringing lunch to school again. Also, to work off all those extra calories, Coach Gills instructs a physical fitness test, where everyone in the school has to run multiple laps around building until they finally lose some weight.
