About this product

Product Information

Frederick Kaufman offers a piquant sampling of American history by way of the stomach.Travel with him as he tracks down our earliest foodies; discovers the secret history of Puritan purges; introduces diet gurus of the nineteenth century such asWilliam Alcott, who believed that nothing ought to be mashed before it is eaten; traces extreme feeders from Paul Bunyan to eating-contest champ Dale Boone (descended from Daniel, of course); and investigates our blithe efforts to re-create the plants and animals that we've eaten to the point of extinction.With outraged wit and an incredible range of sources that includes everything from Cotton Mather's diary to interviews with Amish black-market raw-milk dealers, Kaufman takes readers on a Bourdainmeets- Pollan tour of the American gut.

[Kaufman] makes some valuablepoints about how the stomach influences the waysAmericans view themselves."--Los Angeles Times --, Kaufman's witty historical analysis will be a treat for anyone interested in food. He even finds insightful things to say about obscenely dry historical figures like 17th-century minister Cotton Mather, whose diaries are ripe with passages of binge-and-purge Puritanism. By invoking the teachings of 'gastrosophists' such a Sylvester Graham (yes, as in the cracker), and linking them to our current food-crazed culture, he deftly illustrates how America always has, and probably always will, lead with its gut., PRAISE FOR A SHORT HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN STOMACH " This rollicking survey of our national food manias from Cotton Mather ('Look after thy stomach') to Rachael Ray is amiably peripatetic. -- New York Observer "Witty and polemical . . .
