Panel: 
Food and Culture II
Abstract: 

Between 1913 and 1916, the Housewives League Magazine published a series of articles arguing for good, clean, and fair food. This paper examines the disconnection between the editorial material arguing for whole foods, green grocers in cities, and fair market prices, and the advertising in the magazine which pushes processed foods.
