Food in war time Graham Lusk Books
Written at the end of World War I, and by a Cornell profession of physiology...not a chef, not a housewife, not a nutritionist, this is not so much a book about what to eat when food is scarce and rationing dictates the menu as it is a look at how we grab the wrong end of the stick much of the time.The book opens with a stern warning: Vegetables, particularly leafy greens, olive oil, and whole grains are a dangerous combination. You don't want to overdo that stuff. Why, according to Professor Lusk, he has studied Italian families who live on the stuff...and who are doomed. No way they're going to survive on this kind of fodder. Some of the information is actually funny, and the author's stern warnings about food that our own experts rave about -- and recommendations of foods that we're now supposed to avoid -- will have you grinning and scratching your head.
So, what's for dinner? "For splendid health, both of body and mind, a peasants' comparative immunity to indigestion, kidney and liver disease, as well as an absolute immunity to gout" try the following for your daily intake: Graham bread 1 pound; Potatoes 2 pounds; Apples 2 pounds; Milk 1 pint, This bread-potato-fruit diet provides the professor's essentials: milk, gluten and yeast. Add enough of these to your diet, he says, and you can skip other proteins, like meat. And the vitamins and minerals too, I guess. There are recipes for Graham bread, by the way, if you want to savor this particular treat.
Makes you wonder what people are going to say about our nutritional geniuses one hundred years from now!
Enjoy!

Food in war time Graham Lusk Books Reviews
Made me ravenous to go back to that era and try the limited foods available.I believe it is still pertinent today in our economy.
This book is a wonderful piece of history, full of advice that is still good today!
