Diets and dieting have concerned - and sometimes obsessed - human societies for centuries. The dieters' regime is about many things, among them the control of weight and the body, the politics of beauty, discipline, self-harm, and even ethical codes of existence. This work lays out the history of diets and dieting in a series of articles.
