This dissertation examines the emergence of nutrition as a social question in the nineteenth-century United States. Though a series of four episodes, I examine how a group of chemists, physiologists, physicians, and social reformers sought to answer the question of how society should feed itself. Armed with insights from political economy, the natural sciences, and social thought, the American framers of nutrition as a social question sought to draw popular and expert attention to American dietary practices in order to align them with their own visions of healthy bodies within a healthy society. This dissertation challenges the conventional perception of nutrition in America as a tool of social control, casting it instead as the product of a diverse set of scientific, social, and moral imperatives. The framers of nutrition as a social question shared an interest in improvement, whether it be moral, social, technological, or a mix of all three; a belief that their interventions would be the agent of this improvement; and a focus on imbuing people's consumption patterns with moral valence and social importance. The formation of nutrition as a social question began with the introduction of political economy into questions of diet in the 1830s, which allowed for individuals' choices in diet to be linked with the health and stability of society. Nutrition as a social question took further shape at midcentury, in the context of overseeing the dietaries of institutions, like prisons, alms houses, and armies, which brought their managers' attention to how diets for relatively homogeneous populations could be created to reach a desired social end, and how the quantified language of physiological chemistry could help them do it. In the late nineteenth century, framing nutrition as a social question was tied to a search for a dietary standard that would not only preserve people's health and strength, but also actively promote human flourishing, both nationally and internationally. The framers of nutrition as a social question in the nineteenth century established the contemporary discipline of nutrition in the United States, casting it as a way to care for the social body.
