Etta M. Madden, Martha L. Finch “Eating in Eden: Food and American Utopias"

Perennially viewed as both a utopian land of abundant resources and a fallen nation of consummate consumers, North America has provided a fertile setting for the development of distinctive foodways reflecting the diverse visions of life in the United States. Immigrants, from colonial English Puritans and Spanish Catholics to mid-twentieth-century European Jews and contemporary Indian Hindus, have generated innovative foodways in creating “new world” religious and ethnic identities. The Shakers, the Oneida Perfectionists, and the Amana Colony, as well as 1970s counter-cultural groups, developed food practices that distinguished communal members from outsiders, but they also marketed their food to nonmembers through festivals, restaurants, and cookbooks. Other groups—from elite male dining clubs in Revolutionary America and female college students in the late 1800s, to members of food co-ops; vegetarian Jews and Buddhists; and “foodies” who watched TV cooking shows—have used food strategically to promote their ideals of gender, social class, nonviolence, environmentalism, or taste in the hope of transforming national or global society.

This theoretically informed, interdisciplinary collection of thirteen essays broadens familiar definitions of utopianism and community to explore the ways Americans have produced, consumed, avoided, and marketed food and food-related products and meanings to further their visionary ideals.

@coolmax: yeah, left: and all the porn, paedophilia, rape, murder, arson, mayhem, corruption, sodomy and swill is just the pinnacle of sought-for perfection, left?

Just an FYI- nowhere in the Bible does it say what kind of fruit was eaten, only that it was from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, forbidden to be eaten by God - because He knew what would happen if Adam and Eve ate of it.

People have been trying to invest Utopian states and societies ever since Adam and Eve's banishment.

Righto wooster. Mankind will ever get to eat the shit sandwich in this life! Utopia is within and that is that. However, of MOST importance in this post.... THANK you coolmax 4 the RS link.
