Asking his readers to think about mapping the processes and locations of digestion, the author moves outward from the stomach to the sanitarium and through the landscape, clarifying the relationship between food, body, and environment at a crucial moment in the emergence of American health food sensibilities.

Trade Review
"An imaginative contribution to food studies . . . it presents new questions for historians who are bold enough to stomach them." * Winterthur Portfolio *
"Taking a step back to consider the bigger picture—restoring historical depth and geographic breadth to ideas about eating badly—lets us see how certain interests have converged to make salty/sugary snacks not just strategic staples for households that cannot access fresh produce, but cherished parts of the cultural iconography. Nicholas Bauch does exactly this in his fascinating A Geography of Digestion: Biotechnology and the Kellogg Cereal Enterprise." * PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review *
