Summary

Marion Nestles Essay Eating Made Simple is an intriguing work of

nutritional literature that dissects and examines the confusing advice, beliefs,
and speculations of many present day nutritionists. Beginning with an
explanation of the research behind nutritional science, Nestle shows her
readers that the information we are given in grocery stores, on food labels
and elsewhere in our day to day lives is not always quite as accurate as you
may think. Bouncing between topics in the areas of organic agriculture, fish
and meat consumption, caloric intake, and proper dieting, Nestle helps one
gain a deeper fundamental understand what it means to maintain a proper
diet in the current day and age. We live in an era that is far more focused on
monetary gain than on consumer well being and although its unfortunate, it
is something we have to deal with in order to survive.
