Marion Nestle’s book What to Eat is a fascinating book. She explores the supermarket through
multiple lenses, providing clarity to the unbelievably perplexing issues that
face us multiple times a day as we decide what to put in our mouths.
She covers the nutritional
issues. She unravels the links
between healthy food and the environment.
She exposes the marketing pushes that encourage us to make choices
against our best interests. Best
of all, she does all this while writing intelligent, clear, non-condescending,
and entertaining prose.
I read the whole book, but I
think it would also serve as a useful reference if you felt the sudden need to
evaluate your choices around fish, for example. I can always use more motivation to eat better and facts are
useful, so I will keep it on my shelf.
