Funky Foodies:
Saving the Planet...
One Veggie Burger at a Time
Benette is writer/director/producer for a kids' podcast on PBS, which explores the relationship between food systems, nutrition, and the environment.
Meet the Funkies!
Funky Foodies features three tweens: Frankie- a non-binary science nerd who has two dads, an annoying 6-year-old brother, and a pet turtle named Shelly; Fern- an artsy redhead who plays the trombone and whose mom, Glow, is a beehive-wearing server at the Greasy Spoon diner; and Zara- a skateboard loving, cymbals playing, tree hugger and urban environmentalist. The trio forms an alliance, pledging to, “Save the Planet, One Veggie Burger at a Time” by taking action that can really make a difference, thereby empowering other kids to know that they can make a difference, as well.
