Milo Milton Hastings (June 28, 1884 - February 25, 1957) was a nutritionist, author, and inventor from the United States. He created the forced-draft chicken incubator as well as Weeniwinks, a healthy snack. Among other things, he wrote about chickens, science fiction, and health. Some of his work is available in print and on Project Gutenberg. Hastings was twice married and had three children. Hastings was born in Farmington, Atchison County, Kansas, and has spent his entire life writing. His publications ranged from poultry husbandry (The Dollar Hen) to science fiction (City of Endless Night), nutrition (Physical Culture Cook Book), and health (High Blood Pressure). Hastings spent the majority of his working life as Bernarr Macfadden's food editor, producing hundreds of food and nutrition essays for Physical Culture magazine. Hastings contributed to The Olympian System, a four-volume set of publications released by Macfadden to promote his ideas about "developing physical and mental efficiency." Hastings published a series of pieces on "Food, Health, and Happiness" when Macfadden launched the New York Graphic newspaper. Hastings also wrote about business (The Egg Trade of the United States), philosophy (an introduction to Brann the Iconoclast), urban planning (promoting Edgar Chambless' linear city idea), social commentary (the stage play Class of '29), and the occasional short story ("The New Chivalry").
