Carbs are bad... Grapefruit will make you lose weight... Red meat is unhealthy...
Today's teens are bombarded with confusing messages about nutrition. This program debunks the top ten nutrition myths and offers solid facts. By using a mix of real kid interviews, humorous fake commercials, and interviews with registered dietitians in an actual food lab, viewers learn about such things as how to read and understand food labels; why there is no magic potion for loosing weight; tasty alternatives to junk food; and, how teens can eat healthier and be happier with their own body images. Viewers learn that skipping meals is a sure fire way to actually gain unwanted pounds, and how even a moderate amount of exercise can make a huge difference in their overall health and well being.

Includes: video, and all support materials, fact sheets and activity sheets on a data DVD, plus a printed copy of the teacher's resource book and student handouts with pre/post test in a 3-ring binder.
