Last week, I shared the first part of my conversation with Marion Nestle. If you missed it, it’s worth a read. We covered her path to NYU, how she found herself writing book after book on food politics (17 and counting), and her very sensible answer to the most paralyzing question in nutrition: “What should I eat now?” Which also happens to be the title of her latest book.
Today, we’re picking up where we left off. We get into the illusion of “personal choice”, the sheer volume of calories our environment throws at us, and how eating everywhere—cars, couches, classrooms—has somehow become the new normal.
We finish with a quick-fire Q&A—just Marion, her instincts, and some rapid-response opinions. You’ll get a quick sense of where you align with her or where you might politely agree to disagree.
Here’s Part 2 organized into 6 sections.
