Have you ever thought to yourself, “If I were a food, I would be _______.”

The answer is probably no…many of you have probably not thought about this. Here at The Clarion we were curious to see some answers Hawthorne High School students had about their lives in food form. I interviewed several people on what they would be and why. The results are interesting, to say the least. Here are a few of them, all answering the question: If you could be any food, what would you be and why?

Adam Dietrich (Freshman): Birthday cake, “because you eat it when you’re happy.”

Jenn Stanczak (Freshman): Shoestring French fries, “because I’ll always be skinny.”

Jillian Padovani (Sophomore):  A pineapple, “so I will still be cool-looking.”

Nik Schenk (Sophomore): A lobster, “because I already get bright red in the sun.”

Zach Orth (Junior): Caviar, “because it’s expensive and I wouldn’t get eaten quickly.”

Dan Whalen (Junior): A whole stem of broccoli, “because I could improve people’s’ lives for the better, through the power of broccoli.”

Devyn Alvarez (Junior): An avocado, “because they’re loved by everyone, they can complement other foods, but they are also good on their own.”

Geena Occhipinti (Junior): A chicken nugget, “because you cannot name five people who don’t like chicken nuggets.”

Brittany Foley (Junior): A burrito, “because they’re so diverse.”

Matt Brown (Junior): Potato chips, “because I’m always salty.”

Tom Gallo (Junior): A pomegranate, “because they’re round and I hate grapefruits.”

Jonathan DiFilippo (Senior): Broccoli, “because they have nice hair.”

Mr. Corvo (History Teacher): A cheeseburger, “because they represent America.”

Mr. Lagrone (Principal): Mac and cheese, “It depends on the day and time. It’s a mac and cheese day today.”

Mr. Jandoli (Vice Principal): A double stuffed Oreo, “because I love consuming them.”
