title: Eating and the American Zeitgeist.
abstract: This article traces the development of the science of eating in the United States from the experiment of Cannon and Washburn in 1912 until the founding of the Appetitive Seminar at Columbia in 1972. The interplay between the intrinsic aspects of science that depend on the sequence of ideas, techniques, and results, and the extrinsic influences of the Zeitgeist is emphasized.
