Food For The Million, Maize Against Potato: A Case For The Times is a book written by Curiae, Amicus and originally published in 1847.

It presents a compelling case for the benefits of maize, including its higher nutritional value, lower susceptibility to disease, and greater versatility in cooking. The author also addresses concerns about the potential risks of relying too heavily on a single crop, as was the case with the Irish potato famine.
