Cool enough for kids to savor, scientific enough to be an invaluable resource, this is the most comprehensive book on food and nutrition ever created for kids (and that's a tall order). We all know that food rules -- most of us plan our entire day around it -- but how much do we really understand about what our bodies need to keep them going?

Expertly organized, with enough fascinating information for many sittings, Food Rules! invites readers to dig into hundreds of mouth-watering stories, jokes, recipes, rumors, and facts. Inspired by a passion for food and goofball humor, science writer Bill Haduch weaves his completely up-to-date nutritional research and insights through a supermarket of zany illustrations by Rick Stromoski. Their goal: better eating through laughter. Ooh! Sounds messy....
