"Warren Belasco is a witty, wonderfully observant guide to the hopes and fears that every era projects onto its culinary futureThis enlightening study reads like time-travel for foodies." - Laura Shapiro, author of Something From the Oven: Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America "Warren Belasco serves up an intellectual feast, brilliantly dissecting two centuries of expectations regarding the future of food and hunger. Meals to Come provides an essential guide to thinking clearly about the worrisome question as to whether the world can ever be adequately and equitably fed." - Joseph J. Corn, co-author of Yesterday's Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future "This astute, sly, warmly human critique of the basic belly issues that have absorbed and defined Americans politically, socially, and economically for the past 200 years is a knockout. Warren Belasco's important book, crammed with knowledge, is absolutely necessary for an understanding of where we are now." - Betty Fussell, author of My Kitchen Wars"
