Soybeans, protein-packed and domestically grown, were a common food in China, and soybean milk (\u003ci\u003edoujiang\u003c\/i\u003e) was poised for reinvention for the modern age. Scientific soybean milk became a symbol of national growth and development on Chinese terms, and its competition with cow's milk reflected China's relationship to global modernity and imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Other Milk\u003c\/i\u003e explores the curious paths that led to the notion of the deficient Chinese diet and to soybean milk as the way to guarantee food security for the masses. Jia-Chen Fu's in-depth examination of the intertwined relationships between diet, health, and nation illuminates the multiple forces that have been essential in the formation of nutrition science in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jia-Chen Fu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295744032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJia-Chen Fu\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of Chinese at Emory University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39949060636787,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_3be93436-d61b-4078-9271-0e7ba7df69d5.jpg?v=1648475746","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-other-milk-reinventing-soy-in-republican-china-9780295744032","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
