Talking About Food and the Environment

A trip to the grocery store involves a lot more reading and analyzing than it once did. These days, ingredient labels and nutrition panels abound, allowing us to compare and contrast two, three, and four similar products. We can find out what is organic, what chemicals are included or extracted, and which containers are recyclable. This book informs students about eco-conscious food and nutrition choices, and explains how our growing world population is affecting our food and water supply.
