EAT THE RIGHT STUFF

In the new Good Health Guidelines series, a sensible, middle-of-the-road approach to nutrition. Beginning with a pep talk about how tasty healthy foods can be, Reef enlivens her well-organized presentation with portrayals of typical kids and the pressures or circumstances influencing their diets. She details the digestive process, presents the new guidelines (without defining a ``serving''), lists sources of nutrients, explains connections between diet and health, and offers young people strategies for gradually improving the quality of what they eat. Useful diagrams and attractive color photos of food and of young people preparing it contribute to the appetizing format.
