This week - First a tribute to the forever changed Blue Ridge Parkway.

But mainly a look at how little American Diet Culture has changed in almost 200 years.  We came up with some very sticky ideas about how diets should work - including general cluelessness about complex ideas, fuzzy recolections of a fantastic past and the fact that you need more money than you have to follow it correctly.

Sylvester Graham and his boring approach to vegetables is going to lead the way in how America is going to try to regain health and lose weight.

Follow along for America's first encounter with, "you are eating wrong."
