Eat This! by Andrea Curtis
A provocative follow-up to the bestselling What's for Lunch?, Eat This! zooms in on fast food marketing to children -- an immense industry worth billions of dollars.
Andrea Curtis shows how fast food companies push their unhealthy food and beverages by embedding their sales pitches in everything from Snapchat filters to movies, from videogames to school curriculum. An exploration of media literacy and food literacy, Eat this! looks at what exactly marketing is and touches on the latest strategies aimed at kids, including product placement, advergames, cartoon and celebrity endorsements and school fundraising.
On each page spread, Andrea Curtis provides research-based insights into all aspects of the fast food industry and, perhaps most importantly, offers kids examples and ideas about how they can push back -- taking charge of their own health and well-being.
Andrea Curtis is the author of several award-winning books for children and adults, including Into the Blue, which is about her great-grandfather, a steamboat captain who vanished on Georgian Bay in the early 1900s. Andrea resides in Toronto, Ontario, with her husband and two sons, and is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. Visit www.andreacurtis.ca for additional details.
