Milo Milton Hastings (June 28, 1884 – February 25, 1957) was an American inventor, author, and nutritionist. He invented the forced-draft chicken incubator and Weeniwinks, a health-food snack. He wrote about chickens, science fiction, and health, among other things. Some of his writing is available in book form and on Project Gutenberg. Hastings was married twice and had three children. == Writer == Born in Farmington, Atchison County, Kansas, Hastings wrote all his life. His books covered a broad range of topics: chicken husbandry (''The Dollar Hen''), science fiction (''City of Endless Night''), nutrition (''Physical Culture Cook Book''), health (''High Blood Pressure''). Hastings spent the bulk of his professional life as the food editor for Bernarr Macfadden writing hundreds of columns on food and nutrition for ''Physical Culture'' magazine. Hastings contributed several entries to ''The Olympian System'', a four volume set of books published by Macfadden to promote his notions of “developing physical and mental efficiency.” When Macfadden started the ''New York Graphic'' newspaper Hastings wrote a series of articles on "Food, Health, and Happiness". Hastings wrote on other topics as well: commerce (''The Egg Trade of the United States''), philosophy (an introduction to ''Brann The Iconoclast''), urban planning (promoting the linear city idea of Edgar Chambless), social commentary (the stage play ''Class of ’29''), and an occasional short story ("The New Chivalry"). Hastings writing was infused with both clarity and wit. Complex ideas became simple. Historical, biblical, and cultural references were frequent. He got interested in many things over a lifetime. Where his interest led, he would learn, then write, and then move on. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milo Hastings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
