Gr 5-9 Whether looking to go organic, ovo-lacto vegetarian, or vegan, kids will find the information necessary to make the switch in these titles. Each book includes a definition of the lifestyle, an exploration of the reasons to change eating habits, suggestions for handling pushback from family and friends, and practical tips to get started. Rau cautions against changing for the wrong reasons, advises careful research and diet planning, and empowers kids to take ownership of their decisions. Organic focuses on the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP) regulations, making no mention of other certification programs. It does, however, warn kids about trusting organic labels implicitly and recommends that they go straight to the source when possible by researching and even visiting companies. Serve these up to budding health foodies.
