Many meat products people enjoy are made in factories. These manufactured meats are sometimes even called "mystery meat" because people aren't sure what's in them! Readers solve the mystery behind mystery meat through this fact-filled look at the making of hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and many other popular foods. As they explore the science-focused main text and sidebars, they are also given critical-thinking questions to answer. This allows them to develop their own opinions about the foods they eat. Graphic organizers and full-color photographs are also included as part of the eye-catching design.
"Hot topics like antibiotics, pesticides, and GMOs make up the meat of this series. Filled with dense text and quite a bit of technical detail, these topics will appeal to socially conscious readers looking to dig beyond buzzwords."
