“Zombie Foods”– Zombie Foods are sickly, creepy characters that portray foods and drinks that are known as “discretionary or extra foods”. Discretionary foods contain low levels of essential nutrients and are energy dense and if chosen should only be eaten sometimes and in small amounts (National Health and Medical Research Council, 2013).The Zombie foods are high in sugar, salt and fat. There are currently six Zombie Food characters: zombie chips, fizz, energy drink, choc and donut. Zombie Foods is the collective name of the characters therefore it is required to be capitalised and written as one word.
“Body Monsters” – Developed as a secondary theme to the Superhero Foods concept, the arch enemies represent the possible long term consequences of unhealthy food choices, being Zombie Foods. The arch enemies of the Everyday and Superhero Foods are Illness, Obesity and Decay, also known as Body Monsters; these characters aim to destroy a healthy way of life. Although, the arch villains depict negative health outcomes of poor food choices, the Superhero Foods concept is the primary focus of the overall theme. Body Monsters is the collective name of the characters therefore it is required to be capitalised and written as one word.
