The National Nutrition Council is happy to announce that its TV program “Why Not?” is having its re-runs on Channel 2, Saturdays at 8:00 a.m.  The program started its rerun on 14 May 2016 and can be viewed until 8 January 2017.

“Why Not? is an edu-infotainment program targeting children in order to encourage positive eating behaviors for better nutrition.  Each episode tackles the nutritional benefits of a specific food commodity and other information such as planting, selecting, storing, preparation and cooking.

  The nutrition show which features ABS-CBN talents Nash Aguas, Kelly Nakanishi, Maliksi Morales and Brenna Garcia, encourages children, and even adults, to eat a variety of foods every day, particularly the consumption of vegetables.  The show was produced by NNC in collaboration with the ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation, Inc.

Children find the show not only educational but entertaining as well since nutrition is taught in a fun and interactive way.   “Why Not?” was awarded the Anak TV Seal in 2011, 2012 and 2013 as a child-sensitive TV program.  It was also awarded as Child-Friendly TV Program by the National Council for Children’s Television in April 2012.

Watch “Why Not?” and be entertained while you learn about proper nutrition and a lot more about the food you eat.
