Dear Teacher:

Thank you for ordering Planet on Your Fork, your one-day Healthy Choice Kit for grades 9-12. The lesson plan also allows you to extend the lesson beyond one day. Please pass the materials along to interested colleagues.

Planet on Your Fork allows you and your students to discover the impact that eating habits have on other people and the earth. Students will learn that the food we eat affects our health, our environment, and our global community. They will learn of other choices that can improve quality of life here and around the world.

The Healthy Choice Kit is designed to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables through active student participation, attractive graphics and visual aids, and by including parents in the educational process. You will find the following materials enclosed:

* Lesson plan (including extension ideas)

* Lesson masters (Our Food, Our Planet, Eating Impact Survey, Eating Impact Scoring Guide, What Will I Eat?)

* Stationery for parent letter

* A list of Internet resources

* Full color classroom poster

* Evaluation card

Please use the evaluation card to help us improve next year's lesson; your feedback is important! You are encouraged to suggest other educators who might wish to receive information about our classroom programs. We look forward to hearing how your class responded to Planet on Your Fork.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Dune, Director
