"Can a book about self-denial be a pleasure to read? Veit’s Modern Food, Moral Food is certainly such a book; it is beautifully written, a monument to good historical research that is accessible to the average reader." --Melanie DuPuis, Journal of Interdisciplinary History

"Veit's research breathes new life into the study of U.S. history in general. Proof that food history is a serious academic discipline that can stand alone or interweave with women's studies, ethnic studies, sociology, economics, or health sciences. Highly recommended."
--Choice

"A gripping read, full of fascinating information on conceptualizing, cooking, and eating food...This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the making of modern American dietary practice."
--Kristen Hoganson, author of Consumers' Imperium: The Global Production of American Domesticity, 1865-1920

"Veit's superb scholarship and lively prose make for an important, timely contribution to modern food history."
--Susanne Freidberg, author of Fresh: A Perishable History
