First program in a 26-part series examining nutrition and how it impacts people every day. An overview of the history of nutrition and health science in the U.S. is included in the first episode. Beginning around the turn of the century, scientists begin to recognize the relationship between food and health. By World War II, the government identified six essential components of nutrition, which include: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Through research, the government first set up the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) guidelines and eventually the food chart and four food groups, which has evolved into today's food pyramid. Links between food, religion, family, ethnicity, and culture are demonstrated.

American Experience "Mary Pickford" 01:26 #1706 (Rpt) PBS (DVS)
Actor Mary Pickford described a recurring nightmare in which she walked out on stage to perform, only to find there was no one in the audience to watch her. Pickford had played to full houses and adoring fans. She wasn't just a talented performer, she was also a creative producer and shrewd businessperson who played a pivotal role in shaping the first new media of the 20th century. She was the first star to have her own production company, and the first woman to take control of her career in a tough business run by tough men. For nearly two decades, Pickford skillfully navigated her way through the industry. But, by the end of her life, her nightmare became her reality. She discovered that fame was fleeting, and the crowds fickle. This powerful documentary uses archival footage, stills, original audio interviews with Pickford, and clips from her movies to tell a story that is full of joy, power, loneliness, and despair.
