What to Eat Now
November | 2025
A thoroughly revised classic, What to Eat Now is a field guide to food shopping in America, and a treatise on how to eat well and deliciously.
In 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. This thoroughly revised and expanded new edition provides a clear-eyed, no-nonsense guide to the most important food questions on our plate today. With persistence, wit, and common sense, Marion Nestle 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.
