Straightforward discussions and dramatizations arm students with a wealth of information on the updated 2005 food pyramid, the different kinds of fats and sugars, how to read ingredients labels, and how to control what foods are available. Additional commentary from nutrition and food policy experts provides insight into junk food packaging and advertising tactics. 30 minutes. Grade 7 and up. Copyright 2005.
