Autoren-Porträt von Horace Fletcher

Horace Fletcher (1849-1919) was an American health food enthusiast of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often referred to as 'The Great Masticator' due to his assertion that food should be chewed thoroughly until liquefied before swallowing-a practice he termed 'Fletcherizing.' Venturing beyond dietary advice, Fletcher also addressed social issues, as demonstrated in his book 'That Last Waif; or, Social Quarantine' which explores the intersection of societal norms and the welfare of individuals deemed as outcasts. His literary style marries practical guidance with a compassionate perspective on human behavior and societal responsibility. While Fletcher's work on nutrition, especially related to chewing, received much attention-garnering both support from contemporaries like John D. Rockefeller and criticism from others-his social commentary in 'That Last Waif' highlighted his broader concerns with societal well-being and the impact of social policies on individual lives. Fletcher's contributions to the field of nutritional science and his reflections on social reform are indicative of his desire to improve the human condition through careful consideration and radical change in habits, both personal and societal.
