So they found an expert in the field whose last name is Nestle. It's not confusing at all.

Marion Nestle isn't just AN expert. She is THE expert in food science. You would be hard done by to find a more qualified and well spoken fount of knowledge.

She literally wrote the book on how nutrition is politicized and obfusticated by capital.
