Hunger, in the modern United States, became a technology--a weapon, a scientific method, and a policy instrument. During the nineteenth century, state agents and private citizens colluded in large-scale campaigns of ethnic cleansing using hunger and food deprivation. In the twentieth century, officials enacted policies and rules that made incarcerated people, welfare recipients, and beneficiaries of foreign food aid hungry by design, in order to modify their behavior. With the advent of ultraprocessed foods, food manufacturers designed products to stimulate cravings and consumption at the expense of public health. Taking us inside the labs of researchers devoted to understanding hunger as a biological and social phenomenon, On Hunger examines the continuing struggle to produce, suppress, or control hunger in America. 410 0$aCalifornia Studies in Food and Culture Series 606 $aHISTORY / United States / General$2bisacsh 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / General. 676 $a363.85610973 700 $aSimmons$b Dana$01349720 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996657770703316 996 $aOn Hunger$94348924 997 $aUNISA
