What's in your favorite food & drinks?
Our mission is to help elementary school students in Japan understand the ingredients in common food and drinks and how they affect their health.
Empowering Young Minds to Make Healthier Choices Every Day
We help elementary school students in Japan understand the ingredients in common food and drinks and how they affect their health. We use simple, colorful infographics and kid-friendly conversations to make it easy for students to make smarter, healthier choices every day.
Notice
See what’s inside your food and drinks!
When we look at drinks, foods and snacks, we often see pictures and colors - but we don’t always notice what's inside
Try looking at the ingredient label next time. What do you see? Are there words you don’t understand? Do you see sugar, colorings, caffeine, chemicals?
Noticing means paying attention to what's really in our food and drinks.
Understand what each ingredient is and what it does.
Every ingredient has a reason for being there - but not all of them help our bodies!
Some ingredients give us nutrients and energy, some make things taste sweeter, and some ingredients make things look nice and keep foods fresh longer.
Learning about ingredients helps us understand how our bodies use them and their effects.
Learn
Choose
Pick food and drinks that help our bodies feel good.
Now that we know what’s in our food and drink, we can choose what’s best for us!
We can ask ourselves - will this help my body? Is this something that my brain and body can use? Some food and drink are good for everyday, and others are best as a treat or for a special occasion.
Choosing means taking action and deciding what’s healthy.
Find healthier choices and learn more.
Once we notice and learn, it’s time to find a better choice!
Maybe we swap a drink loaded with artificial sweeteners for a flavored water or a refreshing tea. Maybe we ask our friends what’s in their drinks and foods too!
