'Everybody Eats' open to public Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. through April 1

Everybody Eats, an interactive exhibit with 12 eye-opening displays is on loan from the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) in Portland through April 1 in Truckee.

The KidZone Museum has partnered with the Nutritional Coalition and Tahoe Center for Health and Sports Performance at Tahoe Forest Hospital (TFH) to bring Every Body Eats to the community.

About the exhibit
Every Body Eats features 12 interactive areas. At the eye-opening “Sizing Up Servings” area, visitors are challenged to match appropriate serving sizes to everyday objects.

“Fuel Your Body” has visitors choose from a variety of breakfast foods to fuel a “car”—an analogy for the body—and then race the cars against each other. Each car moves forward a certain distance depending on the person’s food choices.
