520    The Gilded Age is renowned for a variety of reasons, 
       including its culture of conspicuous consumption among the
       newly rich. In the domain of food, conspicuous consumption
       manifested itself in appetites for expensive dishes and 
       lavish dinner parties. These received ample publicity at 
       the time, resulting later on in well-developed historical 
       depictions of upper-class eating habits. This book delves 
       into the eating habits of people of lesser means. 
       Concerning the African American community, the working 
       class, the impoverished, immigrants, and others our 
       historical representations have been relatively 
       superficial. The author changes that by turning to the 
       late nineteenth century's infant science of nutrition for 
       a look at eating and drinking through the lens of the 
       earliest food consumption studies conducted in the United 
       States. These were undertaken by scientists, mostly 
       chemists, who left their laboratories to observe food 
       consumption in kitchens, dining rooms, and various 
       institutional settings. Their insistence on careful 
       measurement resulted in a substantial body of detailed 
       reports on the eating habits of ordinary people. This work
       sheds new light on what most Americans were cooking and 
       eating during the Gilded Age.
