extendedforecast Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm looking for shows on Netflix and Amazon to supplement the health unit we are doing at home for the youngest kids. I hope to find something that explores the consequences of an unhealthy diet and lack of movement. I watched Supersize Me years ago, but I don't remember enough to judge whether it's appropriate for young children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Since most adults are easily swayed by Super Size Me and various other heavily biased, so-called documentaries on Netflix without even questioning their factual accuracy, I would be cautious before allowing a child to watch them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Fair enough. Is there anything on video that you (all y'all, lol) know of that discusses healthy eating and exercise and is geared toward children? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Fair enough. Is there anything on video that you (all y'all, lol) know of that discusses healthy eating and exercise and is geared toward children? I'd love an answer to this as well. Some of the videos are ridiculous. Referring to milk as 'mammary fluid'. I feel like, if you have to sink to those levels (just grossing people out), your facts must not be that great.

MEmama Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 DS loved Supersize Me; there wasn't a lot of new information presented for him, but it did provide a great jumping off point for lots of terrific questions and discussions. I think he was 11; it was definitely appropriate (for him, anyway) at that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 When my daughter was about 11-12 she watched Fat Head over and over and over again. I really was surprised that she liked it that much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
