I agree with Bob that "counterculture" needs to be defined,
particularly with regard to time frame. I remember a vegetarian
cookbook published by high school students in the late 60s that had
nothing to do with today's flavors of vegetarianism, but was part of a
"boycott meat" protest when prices rose abruptly. As 'The Wild One'
had it: "What are you rebelling against, Johnny?" "Whadaya got?" 

Also, with Bob, one might say that virtually *any* diet or food fad is
counter to the prevailing norm. You might want to take a look at
"Perfection Salad: Women and Cooking at the Turn of the Century"

As I recall, it covers more than that restricted time period. 

You've picked a pretty wide-ranging subject. :-)
