WHAT TO EAT by Marion Nestle
Health Food
This book is not about raw food and not written by a raw foodist. It's about healthy foods in general. But since it answers the questions that most people have, I do recommend it. When you walk in the supermarket are you confused about what to eat? I used to. Marion Nestle - a professor in nutrition at the NY University - takes you on a tour through the supermarket. She doesn't tell you what food is right or wrong but she does tell you what happens to the food before it arrives in the store. So you can then decide for yourself if you'd like to eat it or not. She also describes why it is so hard not to buy most processed foods... Marion has a conservative (=conventional) view about food. I can only imagine what the book would look like if she'd studied raw food in more detail...
