H-Nutrition Series: Figures
Commissioning Editors: Kristen Ann Ehrenberger and Nina Holmes
The 2019 H-Nutrition short-essay series is organized around "Figures," interpreted loosely to mean illustrations, charts, and human actors. The six contributions that will be published over the next three weeks look at the politics of food advertising for "Brogurt" and Ovaltine; cross time and space from nineteenth-century Crimea to twentieth-century China to the twenty-first-century United States; and contemplate the idealized figure of the virtuous mother and the economical housewife. Please read, comment, and share widely.
