Let's Ask Marion

"Marion Nestle has emerged as one of the sanest, most knowledgeable, and independent voices in the current debate over the health and safety of the American food system."--Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals "When it comes to making sense of the unclean politics of national and international food policy, exposing the motives of corporate food giants, and helping us make the right choices about what we eat, Marion Nestle is a fierce and reliable voice of reason, and her new book is approachable, focused, and hopeful."--Alice Waters, chef, author, food activist, and owner of Chez Panisse restaurant "There is no one better to ask than Marion, who is the leading guide in intelligent, unbiased, independent advice on eating, and has been for decades."--Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything Praise for Marion Nestle "When journalists need to understand how an agricultural policy or nutrition guideline will affect public health, they call Marion Nestle. . . . Nestle has an unparalleled ability to parse USDA reports and cut through the hype to deliver sane, informed nutritional information."--Time "One of the most dogged chroniclers of the U.S. food industry and its politics."--NPR/The Salt "Nestle is a well-respected nutrition expert with degrees in molecular biology and public health nutrition, whose writing is smart and accessible."--New York Magazine/The Cut "Don't be put off by the fact that she's an academic; Nestle writes in simple and informative language."--Vice "Nestle has had a hand in changing how food is studied, understood, and even--many would argue--produced."--Civil Eats "[A] longtime crusader on conflicts of interest in food science."--Vox "Nestle has made a career of letting people know things the food industry often does its best to obscure. She decodes the gobbledygook on labels and sorts out the good food-health studies from the spin. She documents the many ways the food industry drives government food policy. And she exposes the enormous amounts of money spent to market junk food to kids. . . . Nestle is simply one of the nation's smartest and most influential authorities on nutrition and food policy."--San Francisco Chronicle/SF Gate "One of the key voices in food policy, nutrition, and food education in this country."--Village Voice "Nestle has been an extraordinary force in shaping the way we think and talk about food."-- James Beard Foundation in the Huffington Post "Nestle may be America's foremost public nutrition warrior. The scientist, activist, and author has been advocating for clarity in food research and marketing for years, and has been highly critical of the food industry."--Undark
