Quarky is writing this for you...
The story
Quarky takes a slippery ride through the digestive system to see how your body turns lunch into fuel.
What you'll learn

- The stomach mashes food into a soupy mush.
- The long intestines soak up the goodness your body needs.
- The journey takes about a day from start to finish.
