--The Midwest Book Review, September 2011
"Registered dietician Melissa Halas-Liang shows two adolescents how to put together healthy versions of such kid-friendly foods as tacos and pizza. She explains “MyPlate” guidelines, which suggest one-half the plate should consist of vegetables and fruits, with the remainder dedicated to whole grains and proteins. A serving of dairy completes the meal. Halas-Liang introduces quick and nutritious breakfasts; discusses snacks, fats, and sugar; and stresses the benefits of exercise. Interspersed with these segments are interview clips of a multiethnic group of younger children talking about their favorite healthy foods (salads, fish, etc.) and activities (walking, bicycling, and more). The video begins with an unnecessary framing device about teenagers getting hungry while watching television before quickly moving on to focus on nutrition and food. Less-than-seamless editing transitions are a slight detraction; however, the program offers useful information to inspire kids to eat healthy foods."
--Lucinda Whitehurst, Booklist Review, August 2011
"Plenty of practical tips for nutritious eating and getting exercise are given along the way, and (in between each short segment with Melissa) younger children talk about their favorite healthy foods and activities. Of course, since it's usually the parents who buy the groceries, this will be a worthwhile watch for them as well." ★★★
