The Truth about Your Food

In the past, people grew, raised, and hunted their own food. While there are still people who follow this lifestyle, most people today get their food from a store or restaurant. Because of this, we don't always know exactly what's in our food. With the help of these fact-forward volumes, readers are able to develop a deeper understanding of what goes into different kinds of foods--from manufactured meats and soft drinks to snack foods and GMOs. The science of food production and nutrition is explained in a comprehensive way through clear text, engaging sidebars, full-color photographs, and graphic organizers.
