Notes:
Atwater's charts reduced the smell, taste, texture and weight of food to an essential nutritional line…. Were we today less accustomed to tables of proteins and calories, we might find it implausible that the son of a Temperance minister could entirely reconstrue the meanings of foods without reference to taste, ethnic tradition, or social context. Yet that is what Atwater did. (H. Schwartz, Never Satisfied, Viking Press, 1986)
