Diet and Dieters
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Joyce Dennys: A Humorous Look into the World of 1920s Dieting Fads This delightful 1929 cartoon by British illustrator Joyce Dennys offers a humorous and insightful glimpse into the various diets and dieters of the era. The image showcases a selection of characters, each engrossed in their unique method of retaining or reducing their figures, reflecting the faddy and often extreme approaches to slimming that were popular during the 1920s. At the far left, a woman is seen enthusiastically chewing on a radish, a common dietary trend of the time that believed this vegetable could help in weight loss. Next to her, a man is shown attempting to suppress his appetite with a single grape, embodying the belief that eating only one food item could lead to weight loss. A woman in the middle is seen meticulously measuring her food portions using a set of scales, reflecting the growing obsession with calorie counting and portion control. Nearby, a man is shown drinking a concoction from a shaker, likely a popular diet drink of the time, while another man is seen carrying a large bag of celery, a diet staple believed to have negative calories. On the right side of the image, a woman is shown sitting on a scale, presumably weighing herself, while a man is seen holding a large thermometer, possibly following the belief that eating cold foods could help in weight loss. In the background, a woman is shown exercising vigorously, likely following the popular belief that physical activity was essential for weight loss. This amusing and insightful cartoon not only provides a humorous commentary on the various dieting fads of the era but also highlights the stereotypes and societal pressures surrounding body image and weight loss during the 1920s. Despite the passing of time, the themes of faddy diets and societal pressure to conform to certain body standards continue to resonate with audiences today.
