In her new memoir, Slow Cooked, Dr. Nestle says, “I still believe that studying food is an exceptionally effective and accessible way to get at the most vexing societal problems that affect all of us. Food is about taste and pleasure, but it is also about nutrition, health, community and culture. I am hard-pressed to think of a problem in society that cannot be understood more deeply by examining the role of food.”

In this episode of Eat. Drink. Think., host Amy O'Neill Houck is talking with Marion Nestle about her memoir and reflecting on 50 years of change, and lack thereof, in the food system.
