Romantics, Vegetarians, Utopians

Lecture no. 27 from the course: Food: A Cultural Culinary History

Romantics, Vegetarians, Utopians

Taught by Professor Ken Albala | 29 min | Categories: The Great Courses Plus Online Food & Wine Courses

In the 19th century, food-conscious social movements reacted against the ills of industrial society. Delve into new dietary ideologies that stressed purity, backed by both quasi-scientific and religious thought. Follow the rise of vegetarian societies, Utopian social experiments, and health reform movements that gave us graham crackers, breakfast cereals, and granola.

The Kellogg brother's has always been one of my favorite historical stories, and John did do deep research and one of his papers on the dangers of eating pork is still used and viewed online today. Jewish people also had a from of communal living called Kibbutz.
