Great American Food Hoax
While food prices have been rising right through the supermarket roof, the nation's level of nutrition has steadily declined. So says Sidney Margolius, author of THE GREAT AMERICAN FOOD HOAX.

In this informative, hard-hitting book, the author quotes government and private studies to prove his disclosures. The finger points straight at a government-manufacturer alliance as influential as the military-industrial one. Its ‘Pentagon,’ says Margolius, is the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- nowadays often the chief apologist for high food prices.
As a consequence, the public pays up to ten times more than it should for many modern processed foods. These often are merely ordinary foods combined with flavorings and cheap fillers like fat, water, and sugar -- consumer-fooling practices that are perfectly legal.

If this book makes you angry -- or laugh -- it also can plug some gaping holes in your food budget. Filled with expert food shopping information, much of which you can't get elsewhere, it tells you how to recognize the few good buying options open to you. It can cut your food bill up to 20% . That's food for thought!

The 216-page hardbound book was published in this 1971 second printing by Walker & Co., New York. It is in Very Good condition – despite being ex lib with the usual library markings, there is no apparent damage to either the book or the mylar-protected dust jacket. (5868)

1910 Health Lessons, Book Two

Alvin Davison, professor of biology at Lafayette College, is the author of HEALTH LESSONS, Book Two, published in 1910 by the American Book Co., New York. His goal was to present the subject of personal and public health so it would appeal to the interest of boys and girls and fix in their minds the essentials of right living.

In fact, the 288-page hardbound book covers a great deal of the then-latest knowledge of health. Terrific drawings illustrate many of the subjects covered.

Some of the topics include: human body as living machine; plant/animal health; food for the body and how it’s used; care and cooking of food; drink and health; tobacco and other narcotics; blood and its passage through body; breathing, air and health; cleanliness and warmth; clothing and colds; bones, muscles, nervous system; causes of sickness; medical inspection in the schools; help for injuries; hospitals, sanatoria and dispensaries; adulterated food and drink; saving of health and life. Some of the approaches to these topics are almost humorous when compared with today’s knowledge!

Condition of the book is Good+ with slight edge/corner/spine end wear and light soil to the covers. Inside pages are clean, crisp and without apparent defects. Want some insight into how your grandparents learned human biology? Here’s a beauty!
