C. Houston (Charles Houston) Goudiss

Born in 1880, C. Houston Goudiss was an American food writer and nutrition educator known for turning complicated ideas about diet and household cooking into clear, practical advice for general readers. He wrote books including Foods That Will Win the War and was described in period publications as a nationally known food economist and adviser.

Goudiss built his reputation by writing for popular audiences and encouraging informed, sensible eating at a time when nutrition was becoming a bigger public subject. His work connected food, health, and daily living in a way that was accessible rather than technical.

He is also associated with collaborative work with Alberta Goudiss, and together they are remembered for helping shape early 20th-century American food journalism and home nutrition writing.
