Diet and the Disease of Civilization
Diet books contribute to a $60-billion industry as they speak to the 45 million Americans who diet every year. Yet these books don’t just tell readers what to eat: they offer complete philosophies about who Americans are and how we should live. Diet and the Disease of Civilization interrupts the predictable debate about eating right to ask a hard question: what if it’s not calories—but concepts—that should be counted?
Called a "timely and beautifully executed piece of work," Diet and the Disease of Civilization is a comprehensive history of diet, nutrition, and diet-related disease in the United States.
