Editorial Reviews for The Omnivore's Dilemma for Kids: The Secrets Behind What You Eat
|
The New York Times bestseller that’s changing America’s diet is now perfect for younger readers
“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.

Summary: Thanks, Hannah
Comment: My grand daughter, Hannah, who is 11 years old, was reading this book and it totally changed her previous passion for pizza, fries, chicken nuggets, etc. This book explains how food is "processed" and it is quite disturbing. Better to eat food without all those additives, and food grown locally. It's very interesting and though it is the Kids Version, it contains all the information we need to know...

Summary: Enlightening read
Comment: Watched the movie Food Inc. then read this book. It was very enlightening and a great read. I have recommended this book to my friends to read.

Summary: what kids need to know
Comment: One of the great dilemmas we face is misinformation. This book starts to correct some of the nonsense that kids are exposed to on a daily basis. For some kids, there will be too much information but with parental guidance most of the messages can get across. I suggest discussions with children about the contents so the parents can determine where the kids are in their understanding and discussions can continue during and after the reading. Good addition to the education of children.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must read book this year. Very well written.
Comment: My children starting to eat more vegetable after reading this book. I shared this book with my friends and even brought a copy for our children school's library. They all loved it starting to eat more healthy.

Summary: YOU WILL THINK TWICE ABOUT WHAT YOU EAT
Comment: The Omnivore's Dilemma (Young Readers Edition), provides a VERY informative peek into the food industry in the United States today.
What you will find: Pesticides that are poisoning our soil, water and air. Additives and preservatives that are flat-out ruining our health. Animal cruelty so awful, (and preventable), that I don't know how some business owners sleep at night. And for what? Bigger profits and more money for a few at the great expense of others.
This isn't a book of scare tactics. It's not a gross-out book with graphic pics that would traumatize a young person. The idea here is to think twice about your food -- its origins and its impact on your health and the environment -- and make good choices accordingly.
What I like about this book is that you are given practical alternatives to buying into the industrial food system. Find local farms that provide their livestock with cruelty-free care, buy organic, shop at farmer's markets, buy locally, garden, avoid high fructose corn syrup in your diet.
There is so much information in this book and it is written in a way that is very readable. I wouldn't call it so much entertaining as eye-opening.
In the end, our family will make changes in where we shop and how we eat based on the information in this book.
