From plant-based meat to ultra-processed foods, GMOs to grass-fed beef, misinformation doesn’t make it easy for eaters just trying to get a healthy meal on the table.

Newby heeds the call, addressing 158 bite-sized questions on why what we eat matters while sharing the keys to creating healthy and sustainable diets. Newby’s passion for all things food shines through it all—and so does her belief in the power of the human spirit, science, and technology to create a brighter food future for ourselves and the planet we share.
