Invite Debbie Banana To Your School

Debbie Banana And The Mad Scientist School Assembly Programs Teach Children Whole Food And Processed Food Choices

I am really excited because my school assembly program Debbie Banana And The Mad Scientist, is getting rave reviews! In the fun, interactive and exciting assembly, Debbie Banana teaches the kids to eat five fruits and vegetables a day. Her partner-in-crime mixes up a batch of macaroni and cheese using ingredients that represent the 27 chemicals and processed ingredients in a box of that convenient yellow stuff! This is an assembly that the students will remember for the rest of their lives! The children leave the assembly with a call to action and a three part challenge.

• Eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day for a week.
• Ask Mom to make scratch whole wheat macaroni and cheese.
• Finish a Five-A-Day puzzle.

Kids actually leave the assembly and immediately begin to eat more fruits and veggies that day at lunch. They also have a new awareness of what is really in that box of yellow macaroni and cheese and go home asking Mom to make a batch of the scratch recipe that Debbie Bananas gave them. This program is age appropriate for children K through 8th grade. The older kids still enjoy it and are impacted by the information, even if it is a little juvenile for them. The schools usually have a follow up program or assignment in one of the classes, health or gym. When the kids complete the challenge, Mom or another adult can actually go to my webpage and print out a certificate for the child.

I have found that this school assembly program is really effective because the kids go home and ask for better food, instead of Mom or Dad telling the kids that they have to eat better. Teach the kids and the parents learn too. Teach the parents and the kids won’t change. This is not a new approach. In the seventies they started teaching environmental issues in the elementary school and now we have environmentally conscious young adults. The children in elementary school now are the first generation of Americans to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents! This is because convenience foods are nutritionally unsound, chemical laden and void of nutrients. We are creating an entire generation of over-fed-undernourished children! This does not have to be the case. The answer is simple! Teach our children how to make good food choices and take the time to cook from scratch for them. Debbie Banana And The Mad Scientist is an interactive, fun assembly and impacts both children and adults.

I have performed Debbie Banana and The Mad Scientist at other venues besides schools. Camps, health fairs, schools, and even a college have invited the fun pair (they are both me) to make a difference in their children’s future.

Your children absolutely deserve a long and healthy life!
