Summary[]
Rotating on-air each day, Pass the Plate is a multicultural series that is produced in association with Disney Channels in 10 countries and is presented in multiple languages with subtitles. It aims to inspire kids and preteens to lead a healthier lifestyle by sharing cultural and historical facts about food and cooking, while giving emphasis to kids assisting in the preparation of their own meal.
"We want our programming to reflect and recognize that everyone shares a responsibility to encourage kids and families to adopt healthy lifestyles. Our ongoing healthy kids initiatives…and especially Pass the Plate…represent our global team's effort to both inform and empower our viewers, showing them how kids just like them around the world enjoy and benefit from healthy foods," Disney Channel's Worldwide President Rich Ross said in a statement.[4]
Each of the six segments focuses on the exposition, preparation and health benefits of one food item – mangoes, rice, fish, tomatoes, bananas and spinach - and takes viewers across the globe on a tour of how these foods are enjoyed by kids and families in each country. Family recipe examples are a Mango, Spinach and Chicken Salad from the U.S., Sliced Mango on a Stick from Mexico, a Mango Lassi from India, a Beef Mango Stir Fry From China and a Fruity Icy Pole from Australia.
