Greetings!
I’m the author of four books of nonfiction and hundreds of magazine articles. I’ve always been a writer, and have never had a full-time job doing anything else. I grew up in Colorado, where my mom had a friend who worked at home writing stories, with no boss, so from the age of five I decided to become a freelance writer, too.
I edited the Wesleyan Argus and published my first piece in the Jerusalem Post while volunteering on an Israeli kibbutz. Since then, I’ve contributed to publications ranging from the New York Times “Modern Love” column to O, The Oprah Magazine, Gourmet, and Vogue. I’ve been a contributing editor at San Francisco Magazine, More, Sunset, Craftsmanship Quarterly, Good Housekeeping, and the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Much of my work focuses on women’s health, medicine, travel, climate change, social justice, personal essays, and food as a way into the hearts of other cultures.
In 1995, I wrote my first book, Losing It: America’s Obsession with Weight and the Industry that Feeds on It (Dutton, 1995), a ground-breaking and award-winning exposé of the diet industry that continues to be cited in academic pap
