Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and the Dachau concentration camp had an organic herb
garden. Vegetarianism, organic farming, and other such practices have enticed a wide
variety of Germans, from socialists, liberals, and radical anti-Semites in the nineteenth
century to fascists, communists, and Greens in the twentieth century. Corinna Treitel
offers a fascinating new account of how Germans became world leaders in developing
more 'natural' ways to eat and farm. Used to conserve nutritional resources with extreme
efficiency at times of hunger and to optimize the nation's health at times of nutritional
abundance, natural foods and farming belong to the biopolitics of German modernity.
Eating Nature in Modern Germany brings together histories of science, medicine, agriculture,
the environment, and popular culture to offer the most thorough and historically comprehensive
treatment yet of this remarkable story.
