I am an investigative journalist who specializes in science and health. In my most recent books, I have mined the scientific literature for information about how we've diminished the nutrient content of our diet, when and why we did it, and how we can recoup the losses by making more informed choices at the supermarket, farmers market, and in seed catalogs. My latest book, Eating on the Wild Side, a New York Times bestseller, explains how to select the most delicious and nutritious varieties of fruits and vegetables currently available. I live on Vashon Island, an island a short ferry ride from Seattle, where I have a demonstration garden showcasing some of the most stellar varieties.
