Clip 1: Meet Anthony Scavotto | In Defense of Food
Learn how a real middle school student, Anthony Scavotto, and his family struggle to figure out what to eat to be healthy so he can play sports without getting tired, like other kids his age. Anthony gained 30 pounds over the course of a year and is faced with possible health problems. He is on a mission to make changes. However, diet-related diseases like diabetes are a real risk for Anthony and others like him. Even when we are trying to make healthy choices, our current food environment makes it very challenging to do so.
