What to Eat Now. Today is publication day!

Today marks the official publication of my new book, What to Eat Now! All 703 pages of it!

Order it—ISBN 9780374608699—from Amazon Barnes & Noble Books-a-Million Bookshop Powells Target

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

It’s a thoroughly revised version of What to Eat, published in 2006.

A lot has changed, much more than I imagined when I set out to do this. I thought it would be a six-month project, but it’s now four years later.

The big changes? Ultra-processed, plant-based, and cannibis, for starters. But there’s much, much more.

This is a book about how to think about food issues. Come with me on a trek through supermarkets to see what today’s food marketing looks like, and its effects on our health and that of the environment.

I’m collecting information and reviews on this page.

Come to the event at NYU:

The Culinary Historians of New York and the NYU Department of Nutrition and Food Studies invite you to the semi-official launch of the book: The Politics of Your Plate: A Conversation with Dr. Marion Nestle, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., NYU Bobst Library, 70 Washington Square South, Richard A. Chase North Reading Room, 2nd Floor. Register here.
