Michelle Mart offers a rich and accessible narrative that connects dietary trends, food marketing, and public health movements to the voices of the women who helped drive them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart one highlights Hazel Stiebeling's development of dietary guidelines and RDAs, Poppy Cannon's promotion of processed foods for convenience and gourmet meals, and Julia Child's introduction of French cuisine with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and culinary techniques. Part two shifts the focus to women who challenged the food system itself: Frances Moore Lappé's advocacy for vegetarianism and sustainable practices, Marion Nestle's exposure of food corporations' manipulative practices, and Alice Waters's emphasis on locally sourced, organic ingredients and sustainable food systems. Thoughtful and timely, this book explores how culture, politics, and personal vision collided in the kitchens and campaigns of six food pioneers--leaving a lasting imprint on what America eats today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichelle Mart\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of history at the Pennsylvania State University, Berks Campus and author of \u003ci\u003ePesticides, A Love Story: America's Enduring Embrace of Dangerous Chemicals \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eEye on Israel: How America Came to View Israel as an Ally\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 8.89 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45809300340933,"sku":"9780817362140","price":43.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/LzqzlgszcT9780817362140.webp?v=1770942463","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/six-women-who-shaped-what-americans-eat-food-choice-in-an-age-of-abundance-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
