Publisher Description

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.

Must read for anyone who eats

Polan is known for his thoughtful and surprising approach to food. The examples are illumining and the conclusions are inspiring. However apple this is not a children's novel

amazing

i read this book in 7th grade and it changed the way i think about all food

i also consider myself an intermediate level home chef and this was so eye opening

michael pollan’s adventure through the different meals is funny, kinda sad (the chicken slaughterhouse for only one chapter tho) and much more

i would recommend for seventh grade reading level and up

EVERYONE NEEDS THIS INFO

This is one of the most important books that I think I’ve ever read. It really opened my eyes to some things and made me think about changes that I want to make moving forward. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ IT.
