This book was written to help young readers learn about the food we eat, especially corn and to spark curiosity about where food comes from and how it affects our bodies. Corn is in a lot of food products many of us eat every day, so it makes a great place to start asking questions: How does corn grow? What happens on farms? What do farmers use to protect crops and why might that matter to us?A couple of examples are explored; a weed killer called glyphosate, and genetically modified corn. This information is not to frighten you, but to show how chemicals and bio-engineering are used in farming can sometimes end up in soil, water, and food. Scientists are still learning exactly what long-term, small amounts of these chemicals do to our bodies’ and. whether bio engineered foods impact health. That’s why asking questions, reading carefully, and learning how food is grown are important skills. Knowledge is power: the more we understand the better choices we can make for our health.The language is simple; the ideas are explained in short chapters. My hope is to inspire curiosity, not fear, to encourage you to explore, experiment, and discover how a clean food supply helps bodies grow strong and minds stay sharp. If this book raises questions you’d like to explore with children, there is an educator/parent guide with activities, sources, and classroom experiments available.
