Perfect for teens and adults.

Dr. Irven hits the nail on the head with this one. It's messages are all about what you CAN eat and not just what you shouldn't eat. With a focus on a wholesome food choices that isn't too restrictive, this book is an engaging journey into the creation of a new outlook on a healthy diet. It's informative and interesting and will certainly capture the attention of the teenage reader. Adults can learn quite a lot, as well. I especially like the emphasis on learning to read food labels with a critical eye. This should be a mandatory read for all middle school to high school students.
