2 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
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 sectionproduce, dairy, meat, fishshe 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 choicesand 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).

A good compilation of solid advice, most of which I knew, but also a look inside the pressures put on us by Big Food. I was a little surprised that she didn‘t suggest buying directly from farmers, which is how I deal with it. But it‘s aimed at a larger audience I suppose that may not have access to farmers markets and CSAs.

Day 16 #AprilBookShowers #thoughtprovoking Probably my favorite subject for thought provoking books is food & what to eat to feel/be healthy. I'm fascinated by the impact food choices have on our bodies & the world. The top 3 books are old faves (books & authors) & the bottom 3 are a current read--The Dorito Effect, & two others from my Kindle TBR stack. Full disclosure: I ate a handful of Cadbury Mini Eggs as I posted this...😜🍫 Happy Easter! 🐰
