What the World Eats - 1 views

    NY Times photo essay from the book "Hungry Planet"; not a UNICEF resource, but these compelling photos - which depict what families in different parts of the world subsist on - could make for a fascinating activity in a lesson plan.

UNICEF UK: A Healthy Diet, Who Decides? - 1 views

  •  
    Curriculum from UNICEF UK. See photos and case studies on pages 22-33.
  •  
    It was published in 2005, so I'm sure much of the content is outdated. I think the photos and case studies at the end may still be useful, though. Those stories highlight the causes of malnutrition (drought, poverty, polluted water, war, etc.) and the impact on children and families. All of that is still timely. So you could potentially adapt the stories to edit out any dated material and to be age-appropriate. Of course we would have to get permission from UNICEF UK, but it's a possibility if these case studies fit well into the unit.
