Permission to reprint portions of the book which first appeared in magazines was kindly granted by American Heritage, Michigan History, New York History and Sales Management. The book owes much to Miss Louella F. Still for her copyreading and her full and careful subject index. From my wife, Lettie Gay Carson, who typed the first draft and brought taste and judgement to bear upon each problem as it arose, I have had faith, hope, charity and unfailing good counsel. xi PREFACE These last words, which appears first, constitute a kind of hail and farewell to the diet revolt of the past century, and to a group of characters richly endowed with singularity. The fantasia of our food reform has not hitherto been set down as a consecutive narrative. Out of it came, on the one hand, an insatiable popular interest in “scientific” eating, and more food cultists, faddists and kelp wizards than any other civilized nation has ever known. And on the other hand we have the enterprising ready-to-eat cereal industry which, with its “built-in maid service,” its eye-filling packages and massive advertising, has influenced importantly both what we put in our stomachs and our minds. The “world” laughed at “the food protest,” but succeeding generations ate corn flakes and philologists could not but observe that the word “dyspepsia” had disappeared from common speech. For some twelve years I have been pursuing the social history of American eating, the food reformers and the corn flake kings, trying to sift fact from folklore and get the storyline straight in my own mind. A chronology which has been helpful to me and may assist others appears in the back of the book. I have tried to tell the truth—what happened, and why —as I encountered it, recognizing these limiting factors: the historian is human and has Cornflake crusade/by Gerald Carson http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.09631 Library of Congress his own point of view. “Truth” is shaped primarily by survivors and by those who leave the fullest records. Half-truths are probably the only kind we know, and sometimes the fraction is even smaller. “As it is the commendation of a good huntsman to find game in a wide world,” says Plato,“ so it is no imputation if he hath not caught all”. Other hunters are welcome in this public domain. There are no “no trespassing” signs. There has been no attempt made to underline the applicability of this chronicle to our own times.

    Theoretical Implications of the Beachy Amish-Mennonites DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Cory Alexander Anderson Graduate Program in Rural Sociology The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Joseph Donnermeyer, Advisor Richard Moore Edward Crenshaw Copyrighted by Cory Alexander Anderson 2014 Abstract One of the hallmarks of social science is the interaction of theory and methods/data, the former guiding the latter and the latter refining the former, in a cyclical relationship. The goal of theory is to provide explanations for and even predict a range of human behaviors. One potential cause of theoretical stagnation is an over focus on a singular, usually easily accessible group. Given the persistence of plain Anabaptists like the Amish as a highly distinct subgroup in American society, their utility for refining sociological theories is persuasive, but has rarely been employed to this end because of their social inaccessibility, shyness towards social science research, and the popular interpretive frames placed on them that distract would-be investigators. Even with Amish-focused scholarship, the emphasis has been largely on describing the population or applying theory to understand the Amish case, but not returning findings back to theory in critique and revision. This dissertation introduces and contextualizes the plain Anabaptists, then describes the Beachy Amish-Mennonites, a group within the Amish religious tension, but dealing markedly with tensions between separatism and assimilation. Following this introduction are three independent studies that demonstrate the use of plain Anabaptists to refine theory.

The word "salubrious" comes from the Latin word "salubris" meaning "healthy; wholesome; sound; useful; vigorous". Webster's dictionary defines the English derivative "salubrious" as: 1. favorable to, or promoting health or well being; invigorating; 2. spiritually wholesome; conducive to good results". It is in this context of fully promoting the health and well being of the White Race that we use this term in its true literal meaning. We of the CHURCH OF THE CREATOR want to differentiate this term from "Natural Hygiene popularly used for many decades by health practitioners devoted to this worthy art and science.

  • The History of Kraft Foods Inc
    The History of Kraft Foods Inc. All About Kraft Learn everything there is to know about Kraft: like who we are, how you can reach us and what we’re doing in your community. Kraft Foods Inc. is a company with many different roots and founders, all sharing a commitment to quality, a willingness to take risks and a spirit of innovation. Among the products now sold by Kraft Foods Inc. are so many “firsts” and innovations that a history of the company is almost a history of the food industry. Kraft traces its history to three of the most successful food entrepreneurs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries — J.L. Kraft, who started his cheese business in 1903; C.W. Post, who founded Postum Cereal Company (later renamed General Foods Corporation) in 1895; and Oscar Mayer, who began his meat business in 1883. The Story of J.L. Kraft The history of KRAFT goes back to 1903, when, with $65 in capital, a rented wagon and a horse named Paddy, J.L. Kraft started purchasing cheese at Chicago’s Water Street wholesale market and reselling it to local merchants. Within a short time, four of J.L. Kraft’s brothers joined him in the business, and, in 1909, they incorporated as J.L. Kraft & Bros. Co. In 1914, J.L. Kraft and his brothers purchased their first cheese factory in Stockton, Illinois. In 1915, they began producing processed cheese in 3-1/2 and 7-3/4 ounce tins. J.L. Kraft’s method of producing processed cheese was so revolutionary, in 1916 he obtained a patent for it and in 1917 the company started supplying cheese in tins to the U.S.
