Paradox of Plenty A Social History of Eating in Modern America Unknown - 1994
by Harvey Levenstein
America has always been blessed with an abundance of food, but when it comes to the national diet, we are a land of stark contrast and paradox. Levenstein offers a sweeping social history of food and eating in America, exploring the economic, political, and cultural factors that have shaped our diet since 1930. 15 halftones.
First line
The signs of deprivation all around them-the breadlines, the people rummaging through garbage cans and selling apples on the streets, the hobos at the back door asking politely for a bite to eat, the heartrending stories from Appalachia-hardly altered most Americans' deep-rooted attitudes toward food.
