What is in the food we eat? Is breakfast really that important? Are you eating enough fruits and vegetables? Families, children, and school groups will find out the answers to these questions and more in Every Body Eats, a highly interactive exhibition that explores nutrition and the science of making healthy food choices.

Accompanying the exhibit is a comprehensive package of educational programs, activities, and resources to help museum educators further engage visitors and give them practice with important, everyday, healthy eating and decision-making skills.

Like the exhibit, the Every Body Eats educational programs are bilingual, with all visitor, family, and student materials available in Spanish and English.
