★ "Essential reading for anyone who cares about how we fuel ourselves." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Marion Nestle is an inspiration to parents, to scientists, to activists, and to chefs like me. In this book, she again shares her brilliance with all of us, teaching us how to be better consumers and better eaters, for ourselves and for our planet.” —José Andrés, Founder, Global Food Institute 

“Twenty years ago, Marion Nestle published What To Eat and it became my most dog-eared book. We are so lucky to have this updated version; you could not have a better person guiding you through the grocery store. In a world of incredibly confusing information, Nestle offers knowledgeable and completely trustworthy advice.” —Ruth Reichl, author of Tender at the Bone

“What to Eat Now consolidates a lifetime of work by our country’s most remarkable nutritionist. What Marion Nestle gives us in this book is priceless: a compass to navigate the American supermarket, aisle by aisle, through all its (deliberate) obfuscation. And, because she writes not only as a genius scholar but also an enthusiastic eater, it is a joy to read.” —Dan Barber, Chef and Co-Owner, Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns and author of The Third Plate

“Food choices shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. Yet for many of us, decoding a food label feels more like cracking a secret code than making an informed decision. That’s where Marion Nestle comes in. In What to Eat Now, she delivers a no-nonsense, eye-opening masterclass that cuts through marketing spin and industry noise. This book doesn’t just teach food literacy—it arms you with the knowledge to take control of your health, one bite at a time. It’s not just a must-read. It should be required reading for anyone who eats.” —Nik Sharma, editor at America’s Test Kitchen and author of Veg-table

“If you want to know what to eat, what to avoid, and why, don’t listen to your mother. Read this book. Marion Nestle is a national treasure, whose nutritional advice is fearless and wise.” —Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation
