This acclaimedbestseller 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.
