PREFACE

"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. 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.

Food and farming issues that have never been on the public’s radar are now being debated across the

country and in Washington, D.C.

One of the most exciting developments we’ve seen in the last decade or so is the rise of a ‘food movement’ in

America- a movement to change the way we produce and consume food, so that farmers, food workers, animals, the

land, and the environment are all treated with greater respect. There’s a lot we can all do to push the food system in

this direction, but it begins with informing yourself about what’s at stake, and then voting- with your fork now, and

then in a few years with your ballot- for the kind of work you’d like to live in. This book is an invitation to think about

both the problems of how we produce food today and some of the inspiring solutions people are coming up with to

build a better food system for everyone and everything it touches. Welcome to the conversation.
