The Fad Diet Circus(1973)

movie - first aired/released 1973-01-01 - 10 min - audience 3.8

An informational short which compares various diet trends popular in the early seventies. There seems to be a particular emphasis placed on debunking the "Atkins Diet Revolution." Dr. Robert Atkins is interviewed and confronted with some mildly damaging figures. Filmed in 1973, the whole short looks gross enough to serve as a temporary appetite suppressant.
