"Just as powerful as the adult version but perfectly tuned to a young audience, this title is essential food for thought." – Booklist

"Originally written for adults and now adapted for teens, this "must read" tells you much of what you need to know about the foods you put into your body on a daily basis." – Children's Literature

Item Special Note

The Omnivore’s Dilemma: Young Readers Edition

The Secrets Behind What You Eat

“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 health implications of their food choices.

In a smart, compelling format with updated facts, plenty of photos, graphs, and visuals, as well as a new afterword and backmatter, The Omnivore’s Dilemma serves up a bold message to the generation that needs it most: It’s time to take charge of our national eating habits—and it starts with you.
