Barnyard Snacker (1983)

In this educational film, the barnyard animals investigate a mystery involving discarded candy wrappers littering their home. Suspecting a culprit is ignoring the dental hygiene advice previously shared by the "tooth chicken," the animals track the litter to the Hungry Hog, who is suffering from the effects of poor eating habits, referred to as "snack-itis." The tooth chicken intervenes to educate the hog on the importance of a balanced diet, explaining the four food groups and the necessity of eating meals rather than constantly consuming sugary snacks. By adopting healthier eating habits and practicing proper oral hygiene, the hog learns how to improve his overall well-being and dental health, ultimately choosing a nutritious lunch with his friends.
