Sullivan discusses the health risks of overeating and the need to monitor calorie input and output, the differences between natural and artificial preservatives, and how to read nutrition fact labels. Suggestions for healthier versions of the featured foods (such as topping a hot dog with vegetables or using whole-wheat buns for hamburgers) are included. Clean, captioned, color photos break up the texts. With a message that fast food is best enjoyed in moderation, these no-nonsense titles will get kids thinking before they bite.

Topics such as preservatives, calories, and the health benefits of natural versus processed foods are examined in age-appropriate, accessible text. Children will learn how to read food labels and explore the nutritional information of the foods they eat. With this book as a guide, it's never too early to start making positive food choices.
