The Food Tree Curriculum is a comprehensive and unique nutrition education teaching tool and resource guide emphasizing food literacy and plant-based eating. Suitable for a wide age range, educators, parents, coaches, doctors, and wellness practitioners can teach their students, clients, and patients what they need to know about food to create a positive change in their lives and the world around them.
The Food Tree demonstrates the how, what, who, why, when, and where of eating based on peer-reviewed research so that people can create a healthy diet to support their optimal health.
The Food Tree has Five Food Groups that correlate to five parts of a tree that are recommended to eat every day.
The Roots represent Proteins
The Trunk represents Whole Grains
The Branches represent Fats
The Leaves represent Vegetables
The Fruit represents Fruits
To help spread the word about healthy food are the trio of Food Tree Characters; Nutritia, Vita Boy, and The Nutrition Vampire!
