Food Products: Their Source, Chemistry, and Use (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Food Products: Their Source, Chemistry, and Use

No attempt is made to give sum cient details in regard to farm ing to make a successful farmer, in regard to manufacturing food products to make an expert in this line, nor to give specific dirce tions to the person who prepares the food for the table - all these topics are treated in special books with which the market is already filled. The general principles of food production, manu facture and preparation are, however, discussed in such a way that the reader may have a practical knowledge as to what constitutes a good food, and where it is obtained. It is only by knowing what good, wholesome food is, its composition and appearance, that we can hape for an improvement in the general food supply. When this knowledge is widely disseminated, public opinion will go far toward correcting any abuses that still exist in the food market; for pure food laws are but the crystallized sentiment of the united protest of the people against unwholesome and fraudulent products.
