Page 274 - How to Be a Conscious Eater - Making Food Choices That Are Good for You

Toby Bilanow at the New York Times: Thank you for the years
of friendship and opportunity. Not to mention, the exceptional
editing you provide time and again. Our work together on
AskWell articles, answering readers’ most burning questions
about food and health, has been a major driver behind this
book.
I’m thankful for my parents, Joni Balter and Tim Egan,
for nourishing me now as ever. You’ve done so both liter-
ally—through more delicious, adventurous meals than I can
count—and professionally, through your own careers and
active encouragement of my itch to make books. You inspire
me every day.
Finally, to my husband, Sam Kintz. Thank you for continu-
ing to be what you’ve always been: my sounding board, my
biggest fan, and my best friend. You’re my deepest reservoir
of energy and resilience. I love that you believe I could write
a masterpiece while sitting in “the dusty corner between an
industrial refrigerator and a storage closet on an upside-down
milk crate with a flickering fluorescent light.” I’ve said it before
and I’ll say it again: One day our boys will discover there’s
more than one writer in the house.
