### 5/5 — This is great!

*2023-12-13*

It gives information on every food. I had no idea that whole milk has saturated fat. Thank you for letting us be in the know!

### 1/5 — Likely to contribute to disordered eating

*2023-03-06*

Go, slow, and whoa are categorizations similar to red light green light or good and bad foods that contribute to feelings of guilt and shame, and is linked to disordered eating behaviors. This type of nutrition education is outdated and needs to be reconsidered, especially when targeted to ages that are becoming aware of their body image and dieting.

### 1/5 — Sorting

*2022-04-07*

In no way should Whole Milk and a sugary donut be considered the same for categorizing. An 8 oz serving of whole milk is only 8g fat vs 5g fat of 1%.  That is such a small difference. I mean, maybe put whole milk in the slow section instead of the whoa section.

### 5/5 — Fun and Engaging Game

*2016-06-14*

Great learning about healthy foods.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2016-05-24*

My kids love this game!
