As a follow-up to journalist and professor, Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, he created The Omnivore's Dilemma for Kids: The Secrets Behind What You Eat as way to help guide parents and socially-responsible adolescents and teenagers make healthier and safer food choices for their children.
In keeping to the similar format as the original book, The Omnivore's Dilemma for Kids is separated into four sections: The Industrial Meal, "The Industrial Organic Meal," "Local Sustainable," and the "Do-It-Yourself Meal." All four represent the four different food chains that produce the food we eat.
In each chapter, Pollan educates the reader on the origin of each of the four food chain's most common foods and how it came to journey from farm to your plate. The end result are four meals, each comprised of the food made, produced or grown from the respective food chain source.
Michael Pollan is also the author of the following books:
