by Kyle A. Crockett

Overview

Nutrition can be complicated. How do you know what foods are healthy and what aren't? How much should you eat?

In a store or school cafeteria, it may be hard to pick the best foods and snacks. What LOOKS the best isn't always the healthiest. You may not have a lot of choices to pick from. Learn about making the best decisions you can—both in the lunch line and the convenience store.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 7 Up—Rather than preach about good nutrition, these books offer visually appealing, conversational, and practical takes on healthy eating in a variety of settings. They address smart choices in the school cafeteria, convenience stores, restaurants, and fast-food joints, as well as eating for optimum sports and academic performance. The authors arm teens with good information on the physical and mental impact of healthy food, calorie intake, body-mass index, portion sizes, and reading labels. They also advocate a "healthy eating is a lifelong process" approach, encouraging right decisions while acknowledging that temptations exist. Readers can come to this set with little prior knowledge. The volumes are slim, but the large pages contain user-friendly graphics, text boxes, and color photos that pop. Appetizing presentations with sustenance.
