Description
The Cornfield Maze Mystery by David Upthegrove
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 something 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? The book explores a couple of examples; a weed killer called glyphosate, and genetically modified corn. This information is not to frighten, but to show how chemicals and bio-engineered plants 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.
