Book Overview

by Michael Pollan (Author)

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.
