What's The Trick?
With a partner, watch the following video. It features a range of television commercials promoting a food product. Pause the video after each commercial and discuss the following:
- what is the food product and is it a healthy food?
- what tricks have been used to sell the product? - For example: does it say it is healthy? who appears in the ad? what are they saying will happen if we consume this product?
- do you think the commercial is effective? do you think people would believe what they claim about the product?
- what do you think would be a healthier food option?
Label Quiz
In the Traffic Light Quiz, you'll be asked to look at the nutritional information provided for five different food items. You need to move your shopping basket under the correct food item. You have been given some clues to help you in your choices: Green = low amounts, Yellow = moderate amounts, Red = high amounts (compare this to traffic lights - green means go, so think about green foods as foods you should 'go' for). You'll need to be quick making your decisions, the food will drop down once the time has run out.
