Enriched Edition. A Treatise on the Food QuestionBy Eugene Christian
Length20h 50m
About this audiobook
Eugene Christian's Encyclopedia of Diet (Vols. 1–5) is an ambitious early twentieth-century compendium on nutrition, digestion, food selection, and the regulation of bodily health through disciplined eating. Combining practical menus, physiological explanation, and reformist advice, the work belongs to the Progressive Era literature of dietetics, when science, moral self-mastery, and natural-health movements often converged. Its style is didactic, encyclopedic, and prescriptive, aiming not merely to inform but to reorganize daily life around dietary law. Christian was a prominent American food reformer and lecturer whose writings reflect the period's fascination with natural hygiene, preventive medicine, and the curative possibilities of diet before modern nutrition had fully professionalized. His emphasis on simplicity, moderation, food combinations, and individualized regimens suggests both a reaction against industrialized eating and an effort to make bodily self-care systematic, rational, and accessible to lay readers. This work is recommended for readers interested in the history of nutrition, alternative medicine, health reform, and the cultural origins of modern dietary advice. Though some claims require historical distance, the encyclopedia remains a revealing, substantial document of its age.
