Synopsis
Like the majority of Americans, most teens have no idea of what’s in the food they consume. This book is a wonderful introduction to the enhancements that are added to our food and the benefits and dangers they bring. Special attention is given to fast food, salt, and sugar.

Reviews
Reviewed with Elisha Dunn-Georgiou's Everything You Need to Know about Organic Foods.
Gr. 6-10. "Take control of what goes down the hatch," says author Hayhurst. That's the resounding message in both of these useful titles in the Need to Know Library series. Organic Foods gives basic definitions of terms such as whole foods; outlines health and environmental benefits of organic farming, profiles the pioneers of the organic movement; and discusses risks posed by factory farming techniques, such as the increased use of antibiotics and hormones. Food Additives introduces common additives and explains reasons for their use, including consumers' finicky preferences; discusses health risks associated with many additives; and offers exciting alternatives to processed foods, such as produce from community-supported agriculture programs. Both titles offer solid introductions to topics increasingly in the public awareness. A sturdy resource section concludes both volumes. Gillian Engberg
