Bellow's
The Philosophy of Eating discusses the principles of nutrition, major food groups and role of diet in health and disease for the lay audience. The book was very popular and went through sixteen editions in America from its first issue at New York in 1867 to the 16th Boston edition in 1887. The author portrayed the concepts in light of science as well as views drawn from religiosity common in the mid to late 1860s era. So with a biblical fervor as an original direction of inspiration the author then supplies a variety of what was then scientific knowledge to correctly apply that in agriculture to the table in the kitchen. Fresh fruits and grains as those so ordained in the work making up a core of inputs to the meats of the day looked upon in detail most up to that time obtained from the local butcher. More recent incarnations derived from this are exhibited in
raw foodism for people. This manifestation seen in a variety of areas including
vegan food preparation and offshoots related. Contemporary revisiting of this in a new updated book continuing is a more secular scientific work by George Davey who published a 2013 book called
The Philosophy of Eating Break the Trance. With more up to date scientific analysis than the treatise from Bellows the author describes how mechanisms of discovery, chemical masks and the driving forces beyond that of the earlier works in the topic. ==Experiences==
