Library: Dietetics, Food Science, & Nutrition: Find Books

In the Stacks: Getting Started

Many relevant materials can be found in the R call number range (especially RA: Public Aspects and RM: Therapeutics, Pharmacology), but because Diet and Nutrition comprise such a wide and interdisciplinary field, useful resources can also be found in other subject areas, including science, technology (Chemical Technology and Home Economics), and social and cultural studies.

HERE is a link to a list of subject headings in the library's collection.

Formerly Known As Food by Kristin Lawless
Call Number: RA784.L39 2018
ISBN: 9781250078315
Date: 2018-06-19
In this book, Kristin Lawless argues that, because of the degradation of our diet, our bodies are literally changing from the inside out. The billion-dollar food industry is reshaping our food preferences, altering our brains, changing the composition of our microbiota, and even affecting the expression of our genes. Lawless chronicles how this is happening and what it means for our bodies, health, and survival, going beyond nutrition to issues of food choice, class, race, and gender and presenting her philosophy of eating that she calls the "Whole Egg Theory."

Food writer Jonathan Kauffman journeys back more than half a century--to the 1960s and 1970s--to tell the story of how a coterie of unusual men and women embraced an alternative lifestyle that would ultimately change how modern Americans eat. Impeccably researched, Hippie Food chronicles how the longhairs, revolutionaries, and back-to-the-landers rejected the square establishment of President Richard Nixon's America and turned to a more idealistic and wholesome communal way of life and food.
