Bio and Expertise
A working-class transplant
from rural Michigan, Brooklyn-based writer Tracie McMillan is the author
of the New York Times bestseller, The American Way of Eating:
Undercover at Walmart, Applebee’s, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table.
Mixing immersive reporting, undercover investigative techniques and
“moving first-person narrative” (Wall Street Journal), McMillan’s book
argues for thinking of fresh, healthy food as a public and social good—a
stance that inspired The New York Times to call her “a voice the food
world needs” and Rush Limbaugh to single her out as an “overeducated”
“authorette” and “threat to liberty.” In 2012, Whole Living magazine
named her a "Food Visionary," building on her numerous appearances on
radio and television programs, which range from the liberal The Rachel
Maddow Show to the “tea-party favorite” Peter Schiff Show. She has
written about food and class for a variety of publications, including
The New York Times, the Washington Post, O, The Oprah Magazine, Harper’s
Magazine, Saveur, and Slate.
McMillan moved into writing about
food after a successful stint as a poverty and welfare reporter while
working as the managing editor of the award-winning magazine City Limits
in New York City. While there, she won recognition from organizations
ranging from the James Beard Foundation to World Hunger Year. In 2013,
she was named a Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow at the University of
Michigan, a year after she was named a Senior Fellow at the Schuster
Institute for Investigative Journalism. Visit her at TracieMcMillan.com
