What to Eat Now: The Indispensable Guide to Good Food, How to Find It, and Why It Matters

For a limited time we have copies signed by Marion Nestle.

Marion Nestle is one of the leading public voices on food, nutrition, and policy in the United States. A longtime professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at NYU, and a three-time James Beard Award winner, she has spent decades helping consumers make sense of what they eat, without pretending that the answers are always simple.

What to Eat Now is a major revision of her 2006 book What to Eat. At more than 700 pages, it is expansive but never bloated. Nestle guides readers through the supermarket aisle by aisle, helping us understand labeling, recognize competing priorities, and cut through the fog of overwhelming but unhelpful information.

Crucially, she doesn’t oversimplify. When evidence is incomplete or contradictory, Nestle says so. She acknowledges ethical and environmental tensions, and she makes space for informed disagreement. That clarity—both intellectual and stylistic—makes this book a powerful example of public health writing at its best: transparent, accessible, and deeply grounded in science without losing sight of pleasure or common sense.

Hardcover. 720 pages.
