Reviews
"Meticulously researched, thorough, and indispensable - Marion Nestle's "What to Eat" delivers on its title. It's a reliable, riveting guide to the amazing truth about what we're sold by the American food distribution system. Refreshingly rigorous and fun to read." --Alice Waters, founder and proprietor of Chez Panisse and author of "The Chez Panisse Cafe Cookbook," "The industry wants you to believe there are no good foods or bad foods. Well, that's not true. And I can't think of anyone who knows the difference better than Marion Nestle." --Eric Schlosser When it comes to the increasingly treacherous landscape of the American supermarket, with its marketing hype and competing health claims, Marion Nestle is an absolutely indispensable guide: knowledgeable, eminently sane--and wonderful company, too. --Michael Pollan

Synopsis
How do we decide what foods to eat? In recent years, this simple question has become complicated beyond belief-- as supermarkets have grown to warehouse size, and as the old advice to eat foods from four food groups has been overrun by questions about organic foods, hormones, pesticides, carbohydrates, "trans "fats, omega-3s, supplements, health claims, extreme diets, and, above all, obesity. Fortunately, Marion Nestle is here to tell us what's what-- to give us the facts we need to make sensible choices from the bewildering array of foods available to us. With "What to Eat," this renowned nutritionist takes us on a guided tour of the supermarket, explaining the issues with verve and wit as well as a scientist's expertise and a food lover's experience. Today's supermarket is ground zero for the food industry, a place where the giants of agribusiness compete for sales with profits-- not nutrition or health-- in mind. Nestle walks us through the supermarket, section by section: produce, dairy, meat, fish, packaged foods, breads, juices, bottled waters, and more. Along the way, she untangles the issues, decodes the labels, clarifies the health claims, and debunks the sales hype. She tells us how to make sensible choices based on freshness, taste, nutrition, health, effects on the environment, and, of course, price. With Nestle as our guide, we learn what it takes to make wise food choices and are inspired to act with confidence on that knowledge. "What to Eat "is "the "guide to healthy eating today: comprehensive, provocative, revealing, rich in common sense, informative, and a pleasure to read., A renowned nutritionist takes readers on a guided tour of the supermarket, explaining the issues with verve and wit as well as a scientist's expertise and a food lover's experience. She untangles the issues, decodes the labels, clarifies the health claims, and debunks the sales hype., "In What to Eat, Marion Nestle takes us on a guided tour of the American supermarket and shows us exactly how to feed ourselves and our families wisely and well. Along the way, she reveals the big food companies' marketing practices, explains complex labels in clear language, and tell us what we need to know."--BOOK JACKET.
