What is a Sanitarist?

Sanitarist is an archaic term that was previously used to describe a person who advocates for or enforces strict health and hygiene standards, particularly in the context of food preparation and consumption. The term is derived from the Latin word "sanitas," meaning "health," and the suffix "-ist," indicating a person who specializes in or practices something.

In modern times, the term "sanitarist" has largely fallen out of use, and the responsibilities and duties associated with it have been absorbed into other fields such as public health, food safety, and environmental health. However, the term may still be encountered in historical or literary contexts where it is used to describe individuals or practices from the past.
