From the rear cover
"Marion Nestle is one of my heroes. After reading her riveting memoir, I admire her more than ever. She is one of the most important voices in the food world, and in this book she gets personal for the first time."--Ruth Reichl, former editor of Gourmet magazine "Marion Nestle is a national treasure, and now you can learn how she came to be. Just like Nestle herself, this beautiful memoir is thoughtful, generous, unstinting, and deeply committed to learning from the past to build a better world."--Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System "I have always had such admiration for Marion Nestle: she is one of our nation's shrewdest thinkers and has transformed the way all of us think about public health, the industrial food industry, nutrition, and the future of food. With this extraordinary book, I see for the first time how she became the clear-eyed, indefatigable warrior that she is. Her radical self-reflection and honesty are deeply moving--and in telling her life's story, Marion is forging a path for the next generation of food activists."--Alice Waters, chef, author, food activist, and founder of Chez Panisse restaurant "Marion Nestle is a brilliant, courageous champion of healthy food, social justice, and scientific integrity. This poignant and inspiring book tells us how she came to be that way."--Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal "Extraordinary! Marion Nestle's story moves me, heart and soul. I have long admired her leadership in awakening us to the crisis of our corporate-corrupted food system. In this work, however, she offers hope in the capacity of humans to transform obstacles and denigration into opportunity and dignity. She shares a gripping, very personal story that will help us discover our own courage. Just what's needed, now more than ever."--Frances Moore Lapp, cofounder of Small Planet Institute
