The Early American Table : Food And Society In The New World

Attribution
Trudy EdenPublication Details
BookNorthern Illinois University Press2008Description
A plentiful, varied diet of high-quality refined foods created virtuous, refined individuals fit to govern society. In contrast, a more restricted diet of poor quality, coarse foods made an individual coarse, even beastly, and unfit to lead. As a result, in contrast to England where an aristocrat s dinner was far different than a laborer s, in America, the differences between the diets of artisans and urban laborers, of plantation owners and small farmers, were not as great. In short, the American diet was a democratic diet that had social and political consequences. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability
