Marion Nestle's What to Eat is a new guide for a new era in American food and nutrition-the one book that tells you everything you need to know about food, with clarity, insight, wit, and wisdom. Today's supermarkets and specialty shops offer more choices than ever, and we are ever more interested in food-and ever more conscious of what we eat.

Fortunately, Marion Nestle-renowned for her sage advice about food and nutrition-is here to cut through the confusion and help us make the best choices for ourselves and our families. In concise authoritative chapters, she explains everything we need to know about foods-from produce, meats, and dairy to take-out and bottled water. She translates product labels and marketing jargon, shows how the big food companies try to influence our choices, and tells us which food trend to embrace and which to beware-all with her characteristic blend of expertise, skepticism, humor, and delight in the pleasures of the table.
