Overview
Charlie’s Angels have a new mission; changing young people’s eating habits. Thousands of lives are at stake and with this responsibility in mind the Angels set about their task with gusto. They take on both the supermarket and the school canteen and discover that all the foods we need are readily available but that it’s up to us to make our own informed decisions to ensure a long and healthy future.
Feeding the Future is a 35 minute explosion of comedy, drama and song containing the message that feeding our minds and bodies with the right nutritional information and undertaking exercise can ultimately save lives.
