For those of you who don’t know, Common Sense Media believes in teaching kids to be savvy, respectful, and responsible media interpreters, creators and communicators. With all of the information received by kids through media today, it is important to have a stern and responsible group of people that focus in and help direct families on the information they consume. With the overwhelming situation of media choices, we applaud Common Sense with helping families in their decision.
Recently, Common Sense media did a review on “What’s On Your Plate?” and here is what they had to say: “Parents need to know that this engaging documentary is an excellent, kid-friendly introduction to numerous complicated concepts about food, both controversial and not basic nutrition. It was seen as a non-biased film which speaks about vegetarians but did not offend meat consumers.
Whether you’ve seen the film or not, you can read a more in-depth analysis from writer; Joyce Slaton who states “Kids interested in social issues, environmentalism, film making, and activism will find some great role models in this film, and potentially some inspiration for how to turn curiosity into a tool that can really make a difference.” The film’s review and the Common Sense foundation truly safe guards the gap between media and the quality of information received by our kids.
