Key message

We often consume unhealthy foods and drinks without realizing. We need to know what is hidden in our food.

summary

A family is sitting down for breakfast, as the screen switches from the family pouring their juice and cereal to the sugar and salt content being poured out instead. The narrator says that everyone should know what they're eating but clear information about food isn't made available. The mother hears a news report on television about obesity rates and related diseases. She replaces all the breakfast items with healthier alternatives. At the end, the viewer is urged to join the campaign for clearer labeling on unhealthy foods.
