Marion Nestle, SLOW COOKED: An Unexpected Life in Food Politics

Zibby is joined by molecular biologist, NYU professor, and leading public health advocate Dr. Marion Nestle to discuss her engrossing and deeply moving new memoir Slow Cooked: An Unexpected Life in Food Politics. Marion describes the challenges she faced as a woman working in a science lab in the 50s, and the career sacrifices she made to raise her children. She also talks about her late-in-life successes – from pivoting to teaching and navigating exclusionary academic environments to falling in love with food studies and becoming one of the most important voices in the food world.
