Yale Club of Silicon Valley Meet the Author
Series
"The End of
Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite"
David Kessler, M.D., Former Dean of the Yale School
of Medicine
Tuesday, September 14
6:00 pm: Yale Club of
Silicon Valley Meet the Author Table at Cafe Borrone
(Cafe Borrone is next door to Kepler's)
7:00 pm: Presentation
at Kepler's Books
1010 El Camino Real, Menlo Park
CA, 94025
(650) 324-4321
Dr. Kessler cracks the
code of overeating by explaining how our bodies and minds are changed when
we consume foods that contain sugar, fat, and salt. Food manufacturers
create products by manipulating these ingredients to stimulate our
appetites, setting in motion a cycle of desire and consumption that ends
with a nation of overeaters. The End of Overeating explains for the first
time why it is exceptionally difficult to resist certain foods and why it’s
so easy to overindulge. Dr. Kessler met with top scientists, physicians,
and food industry insiders. The End of Overeating uncovers the shocking
facts about how we lost control over our eating habits—and how we can get
it back. Dr. Kessler presents groundbreaking research.
David A. Kessler, MD,
served as commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration under
presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He is a pediatrician and has
been the dean of the medical schools at Yale and the University
of California, San Francisco. A graduate of Amherst College,
the University of Chicago Law School, and Harvard
Medical School,
Dr. Kessler is the father of two and lives with his wife in California.

The Yale Historical Review, a new journal on campus, is
seeking financial support
Every year students in Yale’s diverse history
courses compose praiseworthy papers on topics from the post-World War I
Spanish flu epidemic to a merchant’s travels on the Silk Road. The Yale
Historical Review is looking to reward these students for their diligent
work and to promote the diffusion of ideas throughout Yale’s history
community. They intend to publish one paper from each type of history
class, ensuring that freshmen through seniors get an opportunity to be
published in the journal.
They have structured their operation so that
nearly 100% of all funding goes to printing and they expect printing
costs will range from $2,000 to $3,000 per semester. They will
also publish the journal online for broader accessibility.
Contributors of:
$500 or more will have
their names printed in the front flap of every issue under the title of
“Founding Patrons”
$250 will have their
names printed in the same location under the title of “Founding
Contributors”
$100 will have their
names printed in the same location in the first issue only under the title
of “Contributors”
Contributions should be directed to the
following address: “Y. Historical Review P.O. Box 207137 New Haven, CT
06520.”
For more information, please contact the
Editor-in-Chief, Christopher Magoon (Christopher.magoon@yale.edu)
or the Communications and Development Editor, Josh Tannen
