The Problem


         Hi everyone! I’m trying to open a new healthy restaurant for kids in your town.  Only there is a BIG problem.  I don’t know anything about food! I don’t know what is healthy to eat and what is not healthy to eat!  I lost my copy of the food guide pyramid, and I don’t know how to make healthy meals.  I am supposed to have my grand opening in two days so I really need your help!

Your Challenge

Fill out the worksheet that the restaurant owner gave to your teacher. She will hand it out to you in class.   You will need to find information about the food guide pyramid, what foods are NOT healthy to eat, and how to create your favorite meal.  When you are done with the worksheet, give it to your teacher and we will rush them to the restaurant owner! Thanks!
