A Geography of Digestion is a highly original exploration of the
legacy of the Kellogg Company, one of America's most enduring and
storied food enterprises. In the late nineteenth century, company
founder John H. Kellogg was experimenting with state-of-the-art
advances in nutritional and medical science at his Battle Creek
Sanitarium. Believing that good health depended on digesting the
right foods in the right way, Kellogg thought that proper digestion
could not happen without improved technologies, including
innovations in food-processing machinery, urban sewer
infrastructure, and agricultural production that changed the way
Americans consumed and assimilated food. Asking his readers to
think about mapping the processes and locations of digestion,
Nicholas Bauch 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.
