This week on A Taste of the Past Linda speaks to Susan Yager, author of “The Hundred Year Diet”, an examination of America’s obsession with dieting, going back over a hundred years. Susan took a look at “fad” diets from the past and present; everything from an old timey obsession with extreme mastication to the recent Atkins, South Beach, and other diets that briefly made headlines only to fade into obscurity.
