This fictional TV news report, announcing a proposed ban on under 16’s eating foods like burgers, chips, fizzy drinks and most types of pizza, is designed to be shown in Key Stage 2, 3 or 4 science classes. During the video, a news anchor explains that the (fictional) British Institute of Eating Control (BIEC) wants to ban under 16’s from eating certain types of food deemed unhealthy. A BIEC representative gives reasons for the proposed ban and a reporter canvases the reaction of real people - a nutritionist, a parent, children, a school cook - who would be affected if the ban were to be imposed. The video fits into a detailed lesson plan for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 and 4 science and should prompt discussion, based on scientific evidence, about whether there should be any control over the food we eat.

A great video which could be used to initiate a debate or part of a persuasive writing unit of work

A mock News Flash announcing a country wide ban on junk food and similar products. Good fun and informative.
