The Omnivore's Dilemma Young Readers Edition

Michael Pollan
"Food detective" Michael Pollan, the main character of TODYRE, sets out to trace, and eat, a meal from one of every four main sources: Industrial; mostly derived from corn, full of chemicals, and exactly what would be found at any McDonald's; Industrial Organic; organic, but still shipped from other countries, like Whole Foods; Local Sustainable; food grown locally and shipped from not far away, if you lived in Virginia Joel Salatin's farm would be a perfect example; and finally hunter-gatherer; all hunted, gathered or farmed by eater and assistants. Michael  travels to many different places gathering knowledge about what is actually in our food.
