FOOD is any nutritious matter that plants, animals, or people eat, drink, or absorb to sustain life. Food contains essential fat, protein, carbohydrates, or other nutrients. All living things need energy to grow, heal, and work.
To understand a concept, it’s useful to read a cluster of books related to a theme. Explore these recently published books for young people:
