Tracing the choices behind a meal

A question as ordinary as “What’s for dinner?” opens into an examination of how food reaches the table. Michael Pollan’s young readers’ edition compares food chains including fast food, large-scale organic food, small farms, and hunting and gathering, connecting everyday eating choices with wider environmental and social consequences. Photos, graphs, and other visuals support the exploration, while the book invites young readers to think about how personal decisions fit into larger food systems. Its scope brings nutrition, agriculture, and climate concerns together through the familiar subject of a meal.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in food, nutrition, and where meals come from

Book overview

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.
