In this highly engaging, musical assembly, the student audience will:

Actively use the Pyramid of Food and MyPlate when making food choices.
Learn the importance of snacking on fruits and vegetables.
Use labels to determine calorie, sugar and fat content.
Identify the “hype” companies use to entice us to buy sugary products.
See the positive effects of an hour of daily physical activity.

Mission Nutrition is approved by the Network for a Healthy California. Funding from the Network may be used to purchase this assembly.

The numberless Agent Zero and the student audience are secret agents in training. On special assignment from the Chief of the Nutrition Control Unit (NCU), their mission is to help Little Missy return to living a healthy lifestyle. Along the way they meet Sweetie Puffs, a singing sugary snack, and the apathetic teenager, Sally Slacker. Agent Zero is depending upon the student audience to help solve problems, overcome obstacles, and give advice to Little Missy.

Along with Agent Zero, our secret agent students teach Little Missy how to make healthy food choices. The students and Agent Zero successfully accomplish their mission and become full-fledged agents for the NCU. Their success in rescuing Little Missy from an unhealthful lifestyle results in Zero becoming Agent 001 - a real agent number!
