When Finn complains about the food his mother cooks--he'd rather have "an unhealthy, unbalanced meal"--she decides to let him choose what to eat for a day. Finn fills a shopping cart with candy and junk food, but by dinnertime he feels sick and just wants some spaghetti. The lively, colorful paintings deserve a better, less pointed story.
