It can be viewed all at once (about 15 minutes), or in short segments (about 2-3 minutes each). The segments divide the video into 5 chapters: MyPyramid; Grains; Fruits and Vegetables; Oil, Dairy, Meat and Beans; and Exercise and Water. Viewing only the segments may be useful in a classroom setting, so the class can stop and discuss each segment before moving on. The video can be viewed in English or Spanish, and with or without subtitles. Each segment features energetic music and colorful animation as well as live action scenes.
The video was designed for grades 9 to 12, but would also be useful with adults and older adults. Recommended total amounts needed for each food group are provided for adults, age 19 to 50 years old. It is important to note any variations in recommendations when using this video with other groups. Caloric amounts are provided for different age groups. Based on MyPyramid, a 25 year old female needs 2200 calories, not 2000 calories as shown in the video.
Children and families are featured prominently in the video. Children are encouraged to get one hour of physical activity a day, and like adults, make gradual changes toward better health. Note: To avoid choking, it is advised babies are not fed grapes and large pieces of raw fruit as is displayed in the video.
Parts of the video take place in the grocery store. Some brand items may be visible or identifiable. The prices of the items may not reflect current prices at the supermarket based on region and time of the year.
