Plenty & Want
The theme title paraphrases Burnett’s: Plenty and Want: A Social History of Food in England from 1815 to the Present Day (1966) Proffessor John Burnett, £24.99, ISBN: 9780415008624; ISBN-10: 041500862X; reprint 1989 Routledge
But, this theme is about plenty and want of calories rather than income, the relvance of which is better described in Luxury and Economy. In this context, ‘want’ refers to the insatiianl hunger of the obese and ‘plenty’ to the refusal to eat of anorexics.
