How did meat become such a popular food among Americans? And why
did the popularity of some types of meat increase or decrease?
Putting Meat on the American Table explains how America became a
meat-eating nation - from the colonial period to the present. It
examines the relationships between consumer preference and meat
processing - looking closely at the production of beef, pork,
chicken, and hot dogs. Roger Horowitz argues that a series of new
technologies have transformed American meat - sometimes for the
worse, sometimes for the better. He draws on detailed consumption
surveys that shed new light on America's eating preferences -
especially differences associated with income, rural versus urban
areas, and race and ethnicity. Engagingly written, richly
illustrated, and abundant with first-hand accounts and quotes from
period sources, Putting Meat on the American Table will captivate
general readers and interest all students of the history of food,
technology, business, and American culture.
