Josh and JB's mom wants to change the family diet because she believes it will lead to better health and energy for her sons. This foreshadows a possible event later in the book where the family's improved health may play a role in a big sports game or competition. For example, in "Second Quarter," JB's improved diet helps him perform better on the court, suggesting that changing the family's diet could have positive effects on their athletic abilities.
I agree with your prediction! It seems like a logical progression in the story for the family's improved diet to have a positive impact on their sports performances. How do you think this could affect the family dynamic as well?
