Bon appétit!
As a food fan, I try a lot of things that may not always be so good for me- at least not all the time.
As a parent, I often have to explain the difference between a once-in-a-while treat and an anytime snack.
That is why I am so grateful that my fellow Penn Quaker Alex Trivas has come up with a set of fun and educational cards called Food Monsters that help kids (and adults) learn about why some common elements of many common foods are best when kept at a minimum.
By using the cards to pay the timeless game of memory, players not only have fun but also come to recognize and learn about such memorable menaces as carageenean, phosphoric acid, and even our childhood fave- sugar. From Blue 1 to Red Dye 40, these 32 cards help us find ways to count on ourselves to stay healthier and to avoid the perils of processing that make us and our planet less healthy.
So if you find it harder to read a food lavel than to do your kids’ homework on Zoom, pick up a deck of Food Monsters and fun learjing will be in the cards!
