"A Geography of Digestion explores the legacy of the Kellogg Company, one of America's
most enduring and storied food enterprises. In the late nineteenth century, company
founder John H. Kellogg was experimenting with state-of-the-art advances in nutritional
and medical science at his Battle Creek Sanitarium. At the same time, he was involved
in overhauling the form and function of the broader landscapes in which his health
practice was situated. Innovations in food-manufacturing machinery, urban sewer infrastructure,
and agricultural technology came together to forge an extensible geography of his
patients' bodies, changing the way Americans consumed and digested food. In this novel
approach to the study of the Kellogg enterprise, Nicholas Bauch asks his readers to
think geographically about the process of digesting food. Beginning with the stomach,
Bauch moves outward from the sanitarium through the landscapes and technologies that
materialized Kellogg's particular version of digestion. Far from a set of organs confined
to the epidermal bounds of the body, the digestive system existed in other places.
Moving from food-processing machines, to urban sewerage, to agricultural fields, A
Geography of Digestion paints a grounded portrait of one of the most basic human processes
of survival--the incorporation of food into our bodies--leading us to question where
exactly our bodies are located"--Provided by publisher
