How do you change the world for the better? You start small. You start with what is on your plate. When we walk down the aisles of a grocery store, most of us don't think about all the steps it took for each item to get on the shelf. Or how those different steps might impact the environment and even our own health. With chapters that explore why we eat what we eat, the environmental impact of the meat industry, what terms like "vegan" and "plant-based" mean, and much more, Eating to Save the Planet is an accessible middle grade nonfiction title for curious eaters. Supported by bright illustrations and infographics, this kid-friendly book is all about empowering readers to think critically about the food on their plate--how it got there and why it matters. Whether it's Meatless Mondays at home or advocating for better school lunches, there are plenty of ways for kids to get involved. Back matter includes more information on nutrition, resources for further information, a bibliography, sources notes, and an index.
