This week on A Taste of the Past Linda speaks to Susan Yager, author of The Hundred Year Diet, an examination of Americas 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.
