In this thoroughly revised classic,
What to Eat Now is a field guide to food shopping in America, and a resource on how to eat well and deliciously. With a typical American supermarket carrying more than thirty thousand products, Nestle breaks down how to choose and how to read through the label to make responsible choices.
Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, praised the book calling it “essential reading for anyone who cares about how we fuel ourselves.”
This program is part of the library's Health & Wellness Series.
In the twenty years since the first edition of What to Eat first came out, food has undergone a radical change. The emergence of techno foods, growth of corporate organics, and a surge of interest in food-delivery services are just a few of the things that have altered how we think about how we eat. In this aisle-by-aisle guide, Nestle, takes us through the American supermarket to guide readers on the basics of nutrition, food safety, and ethical and sustainable eating. Above all else, What to Eat is a defense of real food and the value of eating deliciously, mindfully, and responsibly.
Marion Nestle is the most respected nutritionist in America today.
