The American Diet

"The United States has experienced a major health transition in the last 150 years, which has included an increase in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes and coronary heart disease. As these conditions are heavily influenced by food choices, it is important to understand how the American diet has changed over this time period. This talk will describe qualitative and quantitative changes in American food habits that may be relevant to modern disease patterns."



Dr. Stephan Guyenet from the University of Washington gives a talk about the American diet at Tedx (independently organized TED event) given at Harvard Law.
