Our Food Is Healthy Too!, Destiney Mcdaniel

Nutrition Masters Projects

The purpose of this project is to create a children’s book titled, Our Food is Healthy Too!, about healthy eating that includes cultural foods, specifically the southern African American and Mexican American cultures. I will use illustrations and characters that will appeal to the targeted audience. My targeted audience are elementary school-age children, particularly second and third-graders. The book will address the main food groups and the different cultural foods or meals that consist of those food groups. The book will educate children on having a healthy, balanced diet with the foods they typically eat.
