Ella eats a healthy balanced breakfast whilst Jamie just eats a chocolate biscuit. Presenter Zoe explains how a mix of foods with slow-release energy gives us the nutrients we need and fills us up. She then performs a demonstration of the journey our food takes from our mouth through our body, using a collection of buckets, a potato masher, a sponge and some rather nauseated pupils.
