TALKING ABOUT JUNK FOOD

Dear Students;

How would you teach these students from Philadelphia to eat properly instead of having too much junk food?
Have a look at this interesting video about a project carried out by parents and teacher to control children junk food intake. (8 minutes video aprox. )


Proposed activities:
1.- In order to keep students healthy parents volunteers stay outside the store. Explain why?
(first part of video)
2.- Pay attention to minute 4:09 in which a teacher is explaining how important right nutrition is by playing some games . Could you imagine any other games to teach nutrition?

3.- Optional activity:
Minute 5:50 shows us three images that demonstrates the fact that having too much sugar is can be addictive. According to the video, food industry is manipulating food so we can become addicted to sugar and fats.
Just,reflect on it and share your opinion if you want to..

Let me ask you something: Does junk food mean having no time to cook.......? It´s up to you now

  4. I´m punished for writing bad, I must repeat my comment.
    I don´t find the correct video. I´ve have looking the video but I haven´t found. the link talks about the prisioners.
    I thinks many people eat junk food because they haven´t time in oder to cook. is easier and more confortable.

    I don´t understand the video, is difficult for me. first activity I can´t do.
    M game for nutrition is: ¡Take food! the teacher expleins food groups: fruits, vegetables, fats... then she/he will leave photographs of food in a box. childrens must take many photographs and put in group. children that have more photographs will be the winner.

  5. FOUND ME VERY INTERESTING THIS STORY. THESE ARE MY ANSWERS TO THE EXERCISES:
    1) TO TEACH THEM TO EAT HEALTHY FOOD.
    2) A CLASSROOM OF PARENTS AND WITH "PACO", PLAY WITH "PLASTILINA", MAKING MENUS, SELLING HEALTHY FOOD OR WORKING A "PALETA" IN CLASS.
    3) MAY BE, NOT SAY INDUSTRY NOT WHAT TO DO. BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE, I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS. I THINK THE SECRET IS IN THE CONTROL. THE INDUSTRY CAN'T ALTER THE FRUIT OR VEGETABLES MUCH LESS IF IT IS GROWN IN YOUR GARDEN.
    BY THE WAY, DO YOU THINK IT HEALTHY FOOD IN A MCDONALD?
    BYE!

    1. Dear Antonio,
      1.- exercise one; parents are outside the shop to control what their children buy; so they suggest them to have healthy food instead of processed food.
      2.- Selling food is another way to stimulate children in order to learn different kinds of vegetables and fruits. I like your proposal
      3.- I really don´t understand the meaning of this sentence "MAY BE, NOT SAY INDUSTRY NOT WHAT TO DO". Can you rewrite or just explain it in other words?
      Personally, I disagree with you. We must be aware of the fact that food industry is altering food in order to create addiction to sugar, for instance. Have a look again to the image in which three different brain scans are displayed.
      Apparently, eating in a Mcdonals may not be as healthy as eating a home-made salad, but in fact, you will find that both salads contain many chemical fertilizers.
      Thus, is it really possible to eat healthy or the only way to do it is by growing on your own?
