About this Event

The typical American supermarket carries more than thirty thousand products. How do you choose? Both disinformation and corporate misdirection play a critical role in how the average shopper thinks about and then selects the food for their table. Author Marion Nestle is the co-founder of NYU’s pioneering food studies program, as well as the author of important nutrition bestsellers such as Food Politics and Safe Food. In What to Eat Now, she takes us--aisle by aisle--through the American supermarket. Using 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 that food has to navigate before it gets to your shopping basket. Chef Jose Andres calls Nestle “an inspiration”, while Nik Sharma (The Flavor Equation) says this latest book “should be required reading for anyone who eats.”
