Why Do We Need to Eat?

Angela Royston Β· 2006
62/100

A solid little classroom staple from the early 2000s, this 24-page health primer covers nutrition basics in age-appropriate language with photo support. The problem is the age: two decades of dietary science updates, revised food pyramid guidance, and fresher titles in the same lane have made it feel like a relic. Fine if a school library already owns it, but not worth hunting down.
