Summary "The New Glutton or Epicure" by Horace Fletcher is a nutritional guide written in the early 20th century. This work aims to promote dietary economy through detailed recommendations on how to properly chew and savor food to enhance digestion and overall health. The author emphasizes that understanding and observing one's natural appetites can lead to a more fulfilling and healthy life. At the start of the book, the author reflects on the progress made since the original publication of his ideas and acknowledges the contributions of various experts and practitioners who have supported his dietary philosophy. Fletcher introduces his principle of "Thorough Buccal Digestion," which insists on the importance of masticating food well enough to ensure it is appropriately prepared for digestion. He discusses the physiological implications of this approach, including its reported benefits in reducing food intake while increasing satisfaction and health benefits, thus laying the groundwork for the more detailed arguments and endorsements that follow throughout the text.
