Each month, MSG tackles the history and science behind some of your favorite edibles with a night of barroom lectures. Up this month: dieting, just in time for the holidays.
For every supposedly innovative weight loss fad, there is a century-old counterpart. From low-carb diets to extreme mastication, calorie counting to calisthenics, Sarah Lohman (Four Pounds Flour) will reveal the radicals and pseudo-scientists who invented America's favorite dieting trends.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Soma (Brooklyn Brainery) will pull back the curtain on the dieting industry, from the shadowy producers of diet pills to our dear frozen friends at Healthy Choice. See what happens when Budweiser battles South Beach, and how marketing muscle can be found in an IBM computer from the 60's. Featuring kickbacks, intrigue, and many many cigarettes.
