About the book

In «The New Glutton or Epicure,» Horace Fletcher offers a provocative exploration of dietary habits and the philosophy of consumption, challenging the reader to reconsider the boundaries of gluttony and moderation. Fletcher's literary style merges anecdotal storytelling with persuasive rhetoric, drawing upon his experiences and insights to advocate for a more conscious and healthful approach to eating. This work engages with contemporaneous debates in dietetics and health reform, positioning itself within the broader context of the late 19th-century movement toward nutritional awareness and self-care. Horace Fletcher, often referred to as 'The Great Masticator,' was a prominent figure in the dietary reform movement. His own struggles with health and fitness inspired him to develop a philosophy centered on mindful eating and the benefits of thorough mastication. Fletcher's background in various disciplines, including art and architecture, enriched his perspective on aesthetics and wellness, driving him to explore the intimate connection between what we consume and our overall well-being. I highly recommend «The New Glutton or Epicure» to those seeking a thought-provoking examination of dietary practices and their impact on health. Fletcher's insights remain relevant today, making this work not only a historical artifact but also a guide for modern readers striving for a balanced and fulfilling relationship with food.
