All the children in the school huddle and finally decide to steal the teachers minivans. They buy organic food from the Co-op (including a live chicken). The students return and rush to the playground to assemble their organic food launchers. The students then put them on rollers and roll them into the kitchen. Five kids ready the catapults while five launch them. Each misses. They do this until the aftenoon. When the first piece of produce (a lumper potato) hits the blob, it will be "the catapult heard round the school." When the lumper hit, the blob shrieked and started to lose macaroni and cheese veins! 5 minutes later, the blob´s shrieking was as bad as Cher´s singing. The last piece of food was the live chicken. A child said "you used to be free-range, now you´re long range." When that particular chicken hit the blob, the blob collapsed in a mess of food and everyone unblobofied.
In the end, the school vowed never to use unhealthy food again.
