I got this book from a $1 bin, not because it looked good but because I can't pass up a $1 bin and wasn't too interested in Animorphs novels (I'm not judging, I just have moved into adulthood and this is a tiny step toward getting a job and whatever the female equivalent of a prostate exam is).
Anywho...it was a good book. Light reading, not really meaty (cause' I wanted to make a pun), and it was funny. As educational as a 3 minute spot on Nightline would have been but not bad for $1.
And the equivalent of a prostate exam is a pap smear.

I felt like this could have been good, in theory. The topic is something that interests me. But in practice, it was just a bunch of quotes from early American authors about food strung together with no real analysis or cohesion. Bummer.

Great premise, terrible execution. It read like someone's master's thesis.

Puritan puking, 19th century food fundamentalists, oyster breeding, competitive eating contests, Ben Franklin's philosophies on digestion, and raw milk covens in NYC - this little book has it all. Go ahead, gorge yourself.
