What happens when you take data calculated from over an app called Eatery (for the iPhone) over 5 months and from over 50 countries, and use this crowd-sourced data to create a series of infographics? You get one infographic that looks at what has been eaten over the past 24 hours which provides a health rating of good, medium or poor (a global image) and an additional five infographics titled (Perception, When, Where, Who, What): * We Eat Less Health Than We Think * When We Eat Matters * Where We Eat Matters * Who Eats What * Eating Habits Are Contagious You might also want to read the Methodology section to have a better understanding of the data and what it shows for cities in the U.S.

Jamie and the Food Revolution team want to change the way people eat by educating every child about food, giving families the skills and knowledge to cook again, and motivating people to stand up for their rights to better food...

If you are looking for three great infographics that are animated this post is for you.
The first video is 'How to Feed the World' and explores "the science behind eating and why nutrition is important." The suggested ages are 9 - 14.
The second video, 'The Story of Stuff' is a fascinating look at "the entire materials economy." This is a longer video (just over 20 minutes) but it provide a great base for a classroom discussion. If you click through to their website you will find many other videos that have been created including 'Story of Bottled Water', 'The Story of Solutions' and 'Story of Electronics.'
The third video is 'Meet the Elements,' a "wonderful animated journey across the periodic table."
There is a fourth video but it is not necessarily appropriate for students (at least younger students). This one is a reinterpretation of LIttle Red Riding Hood.
