Best Of: Nutritionist Marion Nestle / Science Writer Mary Roach

Food policy expert and nutritionist Marion Nestle's 2006 book, ‘What to Eat,’ became a consumer bible of sorts when it came out, guiding readers through the supermarket while exposing how industry marketing and policy steer our food choices. Now, two decades later, she's back with ‘What to Eat Now,’ a revised field guide for the supermarket of 2025.

Also, film critic Justin Chang reviews the new film Hamnet.

Science writer Mary Roach’s latest book, ‘Replaceable You,’ is about innovations in transplant medicine thanks to promising research and breakthroughs. She tells us about organs transplanted from pigs and attempts to replace bald spots on the scalp with hair from other parts of our bodies.

I think it would've been easy to throw the #Mastodon logo at some print-on-demand website and be done with it, but I've always wanted Mastodon merch to be something bespoke, something you'd genuinely want to keep for years. This is why I chose the difficult path: Manually finding suppliers, prototyping, ordering in advance and distributing through our own shop. It's a lot of work, which is why it tends to happen as individual "drops" rather than a continuous, all year round stock.
