There may be no greater source of anxiety for Americans today than the question of what to eat and drink. Are eggs the perfect protein, or are they cholesterol bombs? Is red wine good for my heart or bad for my liver? The author reveals the people and interests who have created and exploited these worries.

In this study Harvey Levenstein tells of the remarkable transformation in how Americans ate that took place from 1880 to 1930. It devotes special attention to the deliberate attempts of various groups, notably nutritionists and large food processors, to change popular eating habits.

A sweeping social history of food and eating in America, exploring the economic, political and cultural factors that have shaped the American diet from 1930 to the present.
