For the past

years, we’ve been bombarded with images of slim and trim celebrities. Television, radio, and magazines buzz about the latest diet fad. But diets are not as much about dieting as they are about marketing. This program explores the diet industry, tracing the path of such blockbusters as The Atkins Diet, which spawned a multi-million dollar industry including books, food products, and restaurant menus. The program follows Dr. Stuart Fischer as he develops what may be the next big diet craze, as well as examining the links between the media and food companies. Finally, a look ahead at what may be the next big fad.
