Herbert Shelton was, in many ways, a man ahead of his own time. Born at the close of the 20th century, Shelton was an adherent of the Hygienic movement and a tireless advocate of alternative medicine. Throughout his life he opposed mainstream medical practices; he warned that drugs were being over-prescribed, and that hospitalization often made sick patients get sicker. Shelton dedicated his life to offering a different approach to health. More than anything else, Shelton emphasized the need to become attuned to the natural processes of the body.

In They Taught Us How to Cook: The United States, Max Basil invites us on a nostalgic and revealing journey through the cultural memory of a nation.
