What Ingredients Are In A Box Of Macaroni And Cheese?

Debbie Banana Teaches Elementary School Children Ingredients In Mac ‘n Cheese

Bobbie Banana, The Mad Scientist & Debbie Banana and the Debbie Banana elementary school assembly teaches school children what is really in that box of mac ‘n cheese.

I have been presenting the elementary program “Debbie Banana And The Mad Scientist” at many schools the past few months. Pottstown (PA) school district invited me to present at all 5 of their elementary schools.  The program teaches children what ingredients are in that blue box of macaroni and cheese and how important it is to eat five fruits and veggies a day.

Debbie Banana teams up with her friend Bobbie Banana and the Crazy Mad Scientist to bring the children an exciting school assembly and wellness program.

Bobbie provides the music and lively video. Deb Banana brings the concept of 5 fruits and vegetables a day to the children and the crazy Mad Scientist shows the children what all those chemicals mean.

The program often times is paid for by the school’s health and wellness grants and brings the students a new found understanding of what whole food really is. This is not your typical boring healthy school assembly!!
