Lucky for Jack, the giant he meets at the top of the beanstalk chasing
him with a huge fork does not plan to eat him. He is more interested in
nutrition than in devouring Jack. Using the USDA's MyPlate nutrition
model, the giant makes Jack a scrumptious meal. As he cooks, he teaches
Jack about the food groups--grains, proteins, fruits, vegetables, and
dairy--and how much of each should be on Jack's plate. Jack also learns
that he should get plenty of exercise, which he does as he climbs back
down the beanstalk.
