Cambridge Educational - Junk Food Wars

Junk Food Wars

Healthy eating is a challenge—sometimes, it’s even a battle. With vending machines, convenience stores, and fast food restaurants almost everywhere, nutritional value can go down in defeat. This high-energy video shows how to defend against the dangers of junk food. 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. Commentary from nutrition and food policy experts provides backup, with insights into junk food packaging and advertising tactics. Stop losing battles! Join the Junk Food Wars. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. Correlates to National Health Education Standards. A Cambridge Educational Production. (30 minutes)
