Description

This acclaimed bestseller and modern classic has changed America’s relationship with food. It’s essential reading for kids who care about the environment and climate change.

“What’s for dinner?” seemed like a simple question—until journalist and supermarket detective Michael Pollan delved behind the scenes. From fast food and big organic to small farms and old-fashioned hunting and gathering, this young readers’ adaptation of Pollan’s famous food-chain exploration encourages kids to consider the personal and global implications of their food choices.

With plenty of photos, graphs, and visuals, The Omnivore’s Dilemma serves up a bold message to the generation most impacted by climate change: It’s time to take charge of our national eating habits—and it starts with you.

This is defiantly a book worth reading. It really does make you take a serious second look at your food. I would recommend it to everyone because we are so disconnected from where we get our food
Great Read

Pollan went to great extents to give you the secrets behind food. This is the YOUTH version of the book, not a children's novel. If you want to eat healthier, or, if you want to eat at all, read this book!!!
Must read for anyone who eats

Polan is known for his thoughtful and surprising approach to food. The examples are illumining and the conclusions are inspiring. However apple this is not a children's novel

A good read about the state of the American plate. It makes you think twice about what we eat and how seriously we think about it.
