Summary

There are many books on dieting, nutrition, cooking, and other areas related to food, yet books targeted to teens tend to emphasize weight and the dangers of unhealthy eating. Food Choices: The Ultimate Teen Guide provides teens with a new look at food and eating. Robin Brancato chooses not to dwell on food-related pathologies such as anorexia, bulimia, or obesity. Instead, she guides teens into a greater knowledge and enjoyment of food and healthy eating. This book is devoted to food and eating topics, including the biological and chemical reasons we prefer certain foods and the eating habits that are unique to teens today. It also covers the latest medical research, the vast amount of literature on weight loss and dieting, and the cultural influences that affect which foods we eat. Throughout, teens are presented with the best tips on how to develop healthy eating habits for a lifetime of culinary enjoyment. Book jacket.
