Your Food



Hewitt, Sally. Your Food. Crabtree Publishing Company: 2009. ISBN: 9780778740995.


In Your Food a combination of first person accounts, analytical questioning, and inherent suggestions that make the reader feel guilty for not having accomplished what the Green Teem has. The non-fiction rendering assumes the reader has an extensive background in Going Green technologies such as fair trade, organic products and composting. The glossary attempts to explain what the reader is lacking while the index leads one to clear up areas overlooked. Bright and cheery photographs with a desert border serve to explain, model and encourage. This book is overwhelming due to color changing pages, bright sunbursts for name labels, eye catching arrows and delicious looking food photographs. It is egotistically driven; action oriented and encourages repeated reading to grasp it all. It engages with the Nutrition From Your Neighborhood section which lists ideas for kids and ultimately teachers or parents. A tool utilized for Health classes and awareness about the importance of going green that is not something to be overlooked.
