5 A Day Adventures

5 A Day Adventures is an educational computer game that teaches young children the importance of eating 5 to 9 fruits or vegetables a day. It is intended for third-grade level students, and features singing and rapping cartoon fruit and vegetables that explain how they are grown, their nutrition and cooking.

It was designed by Dole Food Company in collaboration with the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior. The CD has been made freely available to more than 18,000 schools across the United States, and was bundled with Apple Macintosh computers.

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or adventures:

    “The heavy burden of the growing soul
    Perplexes and offends more, day by day;
    Week by week, offends and perplexes more
    With the imperatives of “is and seems”
    And may and may not, desire and control.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “We know that their adventures are childish. They themselves are fools. They are ready to kill or be killed over a card-game in which an opponent—or they themselves—was cheating. Yet, thanks to such fellows, tragedies are possible.”
    —Jean Genet (1910–1986)
