Product Description

Since its publication in hardcover last year, Marion Nestle’s What to Eat has become the definitive guide to making healthy and informed choices about food. Praised as ?radiant with maxims to live by” in The New York Times Book Review and ?accessible, reliable and comprehensive” in The Washington Post, What to Eat is an indispensable resource, packed with important information and useful advice from the acclaimed nutritionist who ?has become to the food industry what . . . Ralph Nader [was] to the automobile industry” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).

How we choose which foods to eat is growing more complicated by the day, and the straightforward, practical approach of What to Eat has been praised as welcome relief. As Nestle takes us through each supermarket section?produce, dairy, meat, fish?she explains the issues, cutting through foodie jargon and complicated nutrition labels, and debunking the misleading health claims made by big food companies. With Nestle as our guide, we are shown how to make wise food choices?and are inspired to eat sensibly and nutritiously.

Now in paperback, What to Eat is already a classic??the perfect guidebook to help navigate through the confusion of which foods are good for us” (USA Today).

Marion Nestle is the most respected nutritionist in America today. Her book Food Politics was given the James Beard Award, the top award for food writing; that book and its follow-up, Safe Food, are backlist classics for the University of California Press. A longtime nutritionist and former head of the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University, Nestle lectures worldwide and was featured in the movie Super Size Me. A native New Yorker, she raised her family in California and now lives in Greenwich Village.

Since its publication in hardcover in 2006, Marion Nestle’s What to Eat has become the definitive guide to making healthy and informed choices about food. Praised as “accessible, reliable and comprehensive” in The Washington Post, What to Eat is a resource packed with important information and useful advice from the acclaimed nutritionist.
How we choose which foods to eat is growing more complicated, and the straightforward, practical approach of What to Eat has been praised as welcome relief.  Nestle guides readers through the supermarket sections?produce, dairy, meat, fish, breads, and juices, and then to the “center aisles,” where big profits are made. She uses clear language to reveal the big food companies’ marketing practices and get to the heart of the real issues. She cuts through foodie jargon and complex nutrition labels and debunks the misleading health claims made by the major companies in the food industry. Nestle explains the differences between foods that are wild and those that are farm-raised; frozen and fresh; and organic, natural, and conventional.  She tells us what we need to know about carbohydrates, omega-3s, and trans fats; pesticides and the environment; portion size, labeling, and nutrition claims; supplements, additives, and preservatives; and food safety.
“Not only is What to Eat the most comprehensive guide to the political and nutritional choices we make shopping for food, but it’s also full of up-to-date research on health.”?Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review
 
“With this comprehensive guide, Nestle, a nutritionist, makes the weekly trip to the grocery less daunting and a healthy diet more attainable.”?Science News
 
?[This] book is for anyone who has read a food label; been annoyed at how often their children nag them for certain cereals; wondered about the difference between natural and organic; or questioned who is minding the store when it comes to nutrition and food safety.”?Marian Burros, The New York Times
?Nestle is simply one of the nation’s smartest and most influential authorities on nutrition and food policy.”?Carol Ness, San Francisco Chronicle
?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
“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, author of Omnivore’s Dilemma
 

“Part muckraking journalism, part reference book and part consumer guide, What to Eat is organized in the manner suggested by the subtitle: as a walk down each grocery store aisle with a companionable Ph. D. researcher as the guide. It is a simple, yet effective, concept for organizing what otherwise could have become a mind-numbing amount of information.”?Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 
“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, author of Fast Food Nation
 
“According to nutritionist Nestle, the increasing confusion among the general public about what to eat comes from two sources: experts who fail to create a holistic view by isolating food components and health issues, and a food industry that markets items on the basis of profits alone. She suggests that, often, research findings are deliberately obscure to placate special interests. Nestle says that simple, common-sense guidelines available decades ago still hold true: consume fewer calories, exercise more, eat more fruits and vegetables and, for today’s consumers, less junk food. The key to eating well, Nestle advises, is to learn to navigate through the aisles (and thousands of items) in large supermarkets. To that end, she gives readers a virtual tour, highlighting the main concerns of each food group, including baby, health and prepared foods, and supplements. Nestle’s prose is informative and entertaining; she takes on the role of detective, searching for clues to the puzzle of healthy and satisfying nutrition. Her intelligent and reassuring approach will likely make readers venture more confidently through the jungle of today’s super-sized stores.”?Publishers Weekly

Amazon.com Review
How do we choose what to eat? Buffeted by health claims–should we, for example, restrict our intake of carbs or fats or both? Is organic food better for us?–we become confused and tune out. In supermarkets we buy semi-consciously, unaware that our choices are carefully orchestrated by sophisticated marketing strategies concerned only with the bottom line. That we should confront such persuasion is the major point made by nutritionist-consumer advocate Marion Nestle in her extraordinary What to Eat, an aisle-by-aisle guide to supermarket buying and thus an anatomy of American food business. “The way food is situated in today’s society discourages healthful food choices,” Nestle tells us, a fact that finds literal representation in our supermarkets, where food placement–dependant on “slotting fees,” guaranteed advertising and other incentives–determines every purchase we make.

Nestle walks readers through every supermarket section–produce, meat, fish, dairy, packaged foods, bottled waters, and more–decoding labels and clarifying nutritional and other claims (in supermarket-speak, for example, “fresh” means most likely to spoil first, not recently picked or prepared), and in so doing explores issues like the effects of food production on our environment, the way pricing works, and additives and their effect on nutrition.

What Nestle reveals is both discouraging and empowering. Through ubiquitous advertising, almost universal food availability, the growth of portion size, and unchecked marketing to kids, we’re encouraged to eat more than we need, with consequent negative impact on our health. Knowledge is indeed power, and Nestle’s lively, witty, and thoroughly enlightening book–the work, readers quickly see, of a food lover intent on increasing sensual satisfaction at table as well as promoting health–will help its readers become completely cognizant about food shopping. It’s a must for anyone who eats and buys food and wants to do both better. –Arthur Boehm
