Adventures in Food and Nutrition! is a great resource for helping your students begin an exciting study of nutrition, food management, and preparation. The appealing, youthful writing style and colorful photographs draw students attention. The lower reading level makes this text an excellent choice for younger students and introductory classes. Interesting features appear throughout the text to encourage students to use math and science concepts as they consider the link between nutrition and health. These features also introduce students to innovations in food technology, increase their appreciation of diverse cultures, and motivate them to explore careers. In addition, problem-solving scenarios empower students to develop critical-thinking skills as they apply learning.

This review is from: Adventures in Food and Nutrition! (Hardcover)

I ordered this Nutrition book thinking we could use it in our household for reference, but didn't think to look at the publish date. What I got was a very outdated book from the early 80's with tacky drawings and an outmoded Food Pyramid. Oh well, live and learn.
