“…4 In his 'genealogy' of French anti-Americanism, Roger perceives his object of analysis as an 'endless war of words' whose inner 'polemic logic' 5 he tries to reconstruct. Dan Diner also shares this perception of anti-Americanism as a legacy, a 'deep-seated ideological hostility', 6 a set of 'deeply-seated and long-lasting ideas, images and metaphors that assume the character of a comprehensive interpretation'. 7 Consequently, the focus of the present analysis is on the consistency, the systematic nature and self-sufficiency of Greek anti-Americanism as discourse.…”

“…long been important for the rich and for distribution in feast days -that used to be a lot commoner -or by monasteries (who had a beneficial effect on agriculture even after their dissolution). Peasant dishes can get gentrified, an old example being the addition of meat in medieval times to "frumenty" porridge, with many more examples when dishes were imported to richer climes as in the "hunger for America" diasporas from Europe [177,178].…”

Pellagra is caused by a dietary deficiency of milk and meat leading to insufficient nicotinamide (vitamin B3), the precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). “Pellagra sine pellagra” was well recognised and may be common as supplementation was never globally implemented and a screening test never developed. Meat and milk intake varies 30-fold globally so there are perhaps 2 billion at risk of deficiency. Such patients will have physical and cognitive stunting, poor conduct and be prone to acute and chronic infections, including TB, and premature ageing, including dementia. Resilience may be poor to NAD-consuming insults whether chemical, microbial or traumatic that conspires to cause brain injury but comes with the opportunity for pre-conception dietary corrections breaking cycles of deprivation and poor educational outcomes. Such individuals may otherwise be subject to discrimination as was the pellagra ridden “Butterfly” caste causing racial and ethic tensions. Poor countries with many having to spend 50-80% of income on food and very little on animal produce cannot develop properly unlike wealthier meat rich empires, past and present. The many benefits of experiments with food programmes and basic income support are because, as Engels curves predict, more is spent on milk and meat enabling demographic, epidemiological, and economic transitions and modernity.

“…The Chartist movement and the rise of trade's unions avoided the concurrent hunger inspired revolutions in Europe at least until the 1930's hunger marches. In England (and later America) and in Amsterdam and Antwerp's "glory years" butchers and their guilds prospered in the luilrkkerland (delicious-land) with stories depicting houses made of pancakes and bacon with pre-roasted pigs walkingbutchers could not keep up with the nouveaux riche [141,142].…”

North-South variation in the supply of meat has always been present. Sharing of meat was the rule but in the multi-centric Neolithic revolution when domestication of animals and plants co-evolved class differences became pronounced-aristocrats and inferior proletariats and “lesser breeds and lower orders” started to form. The distribution of natural domesticates was uneven with the near-east and a temperate band across Europe well off compared with Africa and the Americas. The Columbian exchange changed this as meat became abundant in the New World who then exported to Europe. Wars, expropriations and genocides were over the meat supply and acquiring pastureland or water. Colonial plantation profits paid for meat imports from “settler colonies” indigenous or poor peoples on low meat pro-pellagrous diets were considered inferior whatever their colour and had poorer health and life expectancy. Attempts to correct hunger in the resultant ramshackle “Third world” concentrated on calories fuelling population booms and busts and delaying demographic, epidemiological and economic transitions. High meat variances are narrowing in China and Asia but need help elsewhere in the South. Dangers of not developing with a safe and sufficient meat supply include the emergence of zoonoses and mass migration. Reparations, rehabilitation and rejuvenation should concentrate on reconstituting a meat commons giving us a shot at redemption and survival.
