The Healthy Eating Show

Written by Dr. Julianna Pax and Abby London. Performed by Abby and Flopsy (Super Rabbit).

"The Magic of Healthy Eating Show" is a fun-filled way to learn how to eat well. Abby uses humor, magic and puppetry to encourage healthy eating. The audience helps Flopsy the rabbit puppet discover super foods in his quest to become a super hero. Flopsy misunderstands much, creating funny situations. The children help teach him 3 simple messages: 1) Super foods make us feel like super heroes, 2) portion sizes are based on age, and 3) eat colorful fruits and vegetables.

The show avoids preaching; it focuses primarily on what to eat rather than what not to eat; and it emphasizes boosting energy instead of shedding body fat. Avoiding language that can cause behavioral and self-esteem problems, this show does not dwell on obesity, dieting or self-denial.
