Food for Health Suitcase Exhibition
Are You What You Eat?
Food is a topic of endless discussion. It’s something we can’t do without and it can also be a source of great enjoyment. Is there anything as personal or as important as the foods we choose to eat each day? Our health depends to a large extent on what we eat.
The Food for Health table-top interactive exhibit, designed for elementary grades, teaches the role food plays in ensuring good health. It answers many of the questions Canadians have about their food choices, about food safety and about the role food plays in ensuring good health.
