The Omnivores Dilemma for Kids The Secrets Behind What You Eat Editorial Reviews
Source: Product Description
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.

I originally bought this book for my son as I had read the "adult" version. I think this one may be an easier read for adults who don't really get into foodie/nutrition/enviromental style books. So I would say it is not just for kids!!! Also, this version has a few photos that area great addition.

This is a great book but not for 4-8 year olds as listed above? Amazon do you have the wrong information? This is a Young Adult book, or a family discussion book. Please note before purchasing!

Just FYI, I saw Michael Pollan in an interview today and he said the target age is 8 to 12 years old. I just ordered this so I have not read it yet, but I read the adult version and thoroughly enjoyed it and am excited about sharing this version with my kids.

Everyone should know where their food comes from so that they can make informed choices. This book is full of good information about the food we eat and it's sources. It is not a book for young children as they will have difficulty digesting all this information but it is definately recommended reading for children 11-12 and older, it is even a good read for adults who may not have the time or inclination to read the full version.
Rating: 5 (Great book for both kids and adults) Was helpful to 21 from 21 votes
I previously read the adult version of this book and really enjoyed it. When I saw this I thougth I would give it a try. I have to say that this book is not only easy to underdstand, it also gives me more insight into the book. Love this book, and would suggest everybody read it.
