What to Eat Now: The Indispensable Guide to Good Food, How to Find It, and Why It Matters
A thoroughly revised classic, What to Eat Now is a field guide to food shopping in America, and a
treatise on how to eat well and deliciously.
What to Eat Now is a clear-eyed, no-nonsense guide to the most important food
questions on our plate today. How do we make informed dietary choices for
ourselves, our families, and our communities?
In the twenty years since Marion Nestle’s groundbreaking What to Eat first came out, food has undergone a radical change. The emergence
of techno foods, the growth of corporate organics, and a surge of interest in food-delivery
services reignited by the pandemic are just a few of the things that have
altered how we think about how we eat.
The typical American supermarket carries more than thirty thousand products.
How do you choose? Misinformation, disinformation, and corporate misdirection
play a crucial and hard-to-see role in how the average shopper thinks about and
chooses food.
In an aisle-by-aisle guide, Nestle, America’s preeminent nutritionist and a
founding figure in American food studies, takes us through the American
supermarket. With persistence, wit, and common sense, she establishes the
basics of good nutrition, food safety, and ethical and sustainable eating, and
gives readers a close-up look at the web of interests―from supermarket slotting
policies to multinational food corporations to lobbying groups―that food has to
navigate before it gets to your shopping basket.
Above all else, What to Eat Now is a defense of real food and of the value of eating deliciously,
mindfully, and responsibly.
