Additional Info

It's a holistic health lesson for kids and young adults. It starts by explaining what counts as junk food and why too much of is is bad. Then it moves in to describing the food groups and why each of them are important. It gives plenty of good advice for healthy snacks, recipes to replace junk food and exercise suggestions.

The book eventually moves into more complex areas such as body image, eating disorders, GM foods, food miles, animal welfare, over-fishing, how to read the nutritional information, etc. I think it pretty much covers every important issue to do with food that I can think of.

Plus, the style of the book is informative and not insulting to the reader. It seems to be directed at smart kids who might not have thought about these food issues before.
