Disney Channel's Pass the Plate

Disney Channel recently introduced Pass the Plate, a series of interstitials meant to promote healthy food choices.

Each of the six segments focuses on 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.

While I know that Disney's primary purpose is to demonstrate that they are giving back, I like Pass the Plate, I really like it, nonetheless.

Perhaps because when we want to reach out to someone, we frequently give casseroles or cookies, and if we are feeling especially open, we invite others to share a meal.

Know Your Neighbor.

Reach across the Aisle.

Pass the plate.

When was the last time you shared cookies and casseroles with someone?

A recipe?

A meal?

Was it someone with whom you had something in common other than our faith?
