The Wellness Issue
My father is a retired physician, and as a faithful reader of JAMA (Journal of the American Medicine Association), he reported to me that in June of this past year, JAMA published a reprint of an article that appeared 100 years ago, on June 14, 1913, that he felt relevant to the readers of Edible Austin.
He gave me the clipping, with a handwritten note on it, “For Marla’s Magazine,” that I have saved in my desk drawer for the time I thought most appropriate to share. That time has come with this first of our new season of six issues: The Wellness Issue.
The first half of the reprint is a scolding of American culinary ineptitude, asserting that “neither states’ rights nor slavery, but the fying-pan, brought on the Civil War; for frying encapsulated the food in a layer of fat impervious to the digestive juice, and the resulting indigestion aroused the mutual enmities and the berserker rage of our fathers.”
