This game explores the different reasons we choose to eat, and helps us be aware of when our body needs food and when it does not. Learners choose a character, and then are faced with several decisions on whether to eat something at different times. A hunger meter displays how hungry the character is, and a wheel of emotions points out how the character is feeling. After you make your choice, feedback appears on what the healthiest choice would be in that situation.
