“What’s on Your Plate?”
“This film speaks to children and gives them a firsthand look at what the food they eat does to their bodies. It takes an incredibly complicated topic and breaks it down into segments, showing the relationships between growers, food processors and end users and how money is the driving force steering this ship called ‘the food we eat.’ Health teachers, science teachers and gym teachers would be well served to show this film to their students in order to help children understand the important relationship their bodies have with whole foods and how healthy eating can positively affect their lives.”
