“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren’t very new after all.” -Abraham Lincoln

Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Weight, dieting, fitness and health are front and center in the american consciousness. Ironically, despite our preoccupation with health and fitness, obesity rates continue to rise as does the prevalence of eating disorders. This book looks at the evolution of dieting in America: the main types of diets and the most commonly used diets. Additionally, nutrition and the FDA's nutritional guidelines and food pyramid are discussed. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
