Introduction
Our bodies serve as amazing creations that hold much mystery for even the most educated among us. When you consider the perspective of a child where the human body is concerned it is fascinating to watch them discover how their bodies function. Children are often unaware of the nutrients needed to sustain a healthy and active life, and most do not see the correlation of their schoolyard games, cafeteria lunches, and P.E. time as relevant to their bodies. I believe that it is important for children to discover exactly how their bodies work and learn about the foods that will support the bodies systems. Providing them with this information will lay the foundation for future learning, empower them to make better food choices and answer the age old question, "Why do I have to eat my vegetables?"
