How do we make informed dietary choices for ourselves, our families, and our communities?\n\nIn the twenty years since Marion Nestle's groundbreaking What to Eat first came out, food has undergone a radical change. The emergence of techno foods, the growth of corporate organics, and a surge of interest in food-delivery services reignited by the pandemic are just a few of the things that have altered how we think about how we eat.  \n\nThe typical American supermarket carries more than thirty thousand products. How do you choose? Misinformation, disinformation, and corporate misdirection play a crucial and hard-to-see role in how the average shopper thinks about and chooses food.  \n\nIn an aisle-by-aisle guide, Nestle, America's preeminent nutritionist and a founding figure in American food studies, takes us through the American supermarket. With persistence, 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-from supermarket slotting policies to multinational food corporations to lobbying groups-that food has to navigate before it gets to your shopping basket. Above all else, What to Eat Now is a defense of real food and of the value of eating deliciously, mindfully, and responsibly.","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46978514944236,"sku":"9780374608699","price":81.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9768403482321.jpg?v=1762896938"},{"product_id":"food-politics-by-marion-nestle-9780520275966","title":"Food Politics","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe all witness, in advertising and on supermarket shelves, the fierce competition for our food dollars. In this engrossing exposé, Marion Nestle goes behind the scenes to reveal how the competition really works and how it affects our health. The abundance of food in the United States—enough calories to meet the needs of every man, woman, and child twice over—has a downside. Our over-efficient food industry must do everything possible to persuade people to eat \u003cem\u003emore\u003c\/em\u003e—more food, more often, and in larger portions—no matter what it does to waistlines or well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike manufacturing cigarettes or building weapons, making food is big business. Food companies in 2000 generated nearly $900 billion in sales. They have stakeholders to please, shareholders to satisfy, and government regulations to deal with. It is nevertheless shocking to learn precisely how food companies lobby officials, co-opt experts, and expand sales by marketing to children, members of minority groups, and people in developing countries. We learn that the food industry plays politics as well as or better than other industries, not least because so much of its activity takes place outside the public view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEditor of the 1988 \u003cem\u003eSurgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health\u003c\/em\u003e, Nestle is uniquely qualified to lead us through the maze of food industry interests and influences. She vividly illustrates food politics in action: watered-down government dietary advice, schools pushing soft drinks, diet supplements promoted as if they were First Amendment rights. When it comes to the mass production and consumption of food, strategic decisions are driven by economics—not science, not common sense, and certainly not health. No wonder most of us are thoroughly confused about what to eat to stay healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn accessible and balanced account, \u003cem\u003eFood Politics\u003c\/em\u003e will forever change the way we respond to food industry marketing practices. By explaining how much the food industry influences government nutrition policies and how cleverly it links its interests to those of nutrition experts, this path-breaking book helps us understand more clearly than ever before what we eat and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463041695980,"sku":"9780520275966","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520275966-food-politics.jpg?v=1775026785"},{"product_id":"slow-cooked-by-marion-nestle-9780520384156","title":"Slow Cooked","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarion Nestle reflects on her late-in-life career as a world-renowned food politics expert, public health advocate, and a founder of the field of food studies after facing decades of low expectations.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this engrossing memoir, Marion Nestle reflects on how she achieved late-in-life success as a leading advocate for healthier and more sustainable diets. \u003ci\u003eSlow Cooked\u003c\/i\u003e recounts how she built an unparalleled career at a time when few women worked in the sciences and how she came to recognize and reveal the enormous influence of the food industry on our dietary choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time Nestle obtained her doctorate in molecular biology, she had been married since the age of nineteen, dropped out of college, worked as a lab technician, divorced, and become a stay-at-home mum with two children.
