This is how i would most likely start off

Hi there. I’m a piece of food. What kind am I? I’m a piece of pizza! I’m made of bread, sauce and cheese. Kids love me! When you eat any kind of food it has to go somewhere. You chew it in your mouth, you swallow it, it goes down your throat, and into your stomach. But how do you digest it? In the stomach there is an acid called gastric acid or stomach acid. When you eat, the food goes down into the stomach and the acid begins break the food into small pieces. This is called digestion. When you drink a liquid it does the same but it takes a tad bit longer and you might feel bubbles in your stomach especially if you’ve had a carbonated drink. Soup will also travel smoothly into the digestive system. Solid foods take time to be broken down into small pieces so it can be made into energy and waste. So if you were a piece of bread like me it would take a while for the stomach to digest you because bread takes longer to be broken down than other foods. The reason bread takes longer to be broken down is because flour becomes a half solid form when it is mixed with water. Your stomach is made to digest the foods you eat into pulps that the body can use for energy.
