NARRATOR: This is Bungo the Giant.
GIANT: HUUNNGGGRRYY!
NARRATOR: Yes, I know you're hungry. Just hang on a minute.
Just like with humans, it's very important to make sure giants have a balanced diet. Here's a chart to tell us about balanced diets.
Let's see… ah, yes, carbohydrates!
There's lots of carbohydrates in foods like bread and pasta and potatoes.
Right, come on team! Let's get this giant fed! He needs energy!
There we are then. That's sorted.
A balanced diet is… Hang on…
I didn't see that! Agh! Stop! Take that away, it's wrong!
We need vegetables instead!
Good… balanced diet, vegetables. Marvellous.
Agh! No! No! We need fruit! Quick, change it over!
Phew! Finally! Yes, go on Bungo, tuck in!
Wait! No! Stop! We need protein and fat! That's what it should be!
Meat and fish and nuts and cheese!
Hang on… You need all four food groups? All of them?
GIANT: HUUUNNGGGGRRRYYYYY!
NARRATOR: OK, OK, bring them all back!
Quick! Come on, he's hungry!
Huh… We got there in the end didn't we?
The human body needs a balanced diet to work properly. Good health involves drinking enough water and eating the right amount of foods from the different food groups:
Carbohydrates give us energy. They are found in foods such as bread, potatoes and pasta.
Proteins help our bodies to repair themselves. They are found in foods such as fish, meat, beans, nuts, seeds, eggs and cheese.
Fats help store energy for our bodies. They are found in foods such as butter, cheese, nuts and fried food.
Fibre is important for helping us digest our foods. It’s found in fruit and vegetables.
