About Susan Yager: It took Susan years to do anything more with her lifelong passion for food than to cook and eat a lot. As president of a home furnishings mail-order catalog and president of Susan Yager Consulting, a company that advised direct marketing retailers on the merchandising and creative aspects of their businesses, she traveled a large portion of the globe sourcing and developing proprietary products. In her free time, she visited museums, markets, restaurants and food stores.
Susan grew up in Brooklyn in the 1950s and 1960s, when there were more baby boomers than seats in New York City public schools, and so a lot of kids were skipped a grade or two. She graduated from Hunter College at the age of nineteen with honors in psychology, but still way to young to have gotten much out of the college experience. That's one of the reasons it was wonderful to return to school in 2001, and complete a master's degree in Food Studies at New York University in 2004.
Since then, she has written numerous articles centered on food and sexual health. In 2008, she co-authored a book with her husband, Bob Berkowitz, about men who lose interest in the intimate side of marriage: He's Just Not Up for It Anymore. Why Men Stop Having Sex and What You Can Do About It. (Morrow, 2008.)
She has been researching The Hundred Year Diet. America's Voracious Appetite for Weight Loss for seven years, and is an adjunct instructor in the department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health at New York University. She has been interviewed on Good Morning America, National Public Radio, and by Barbara Walters.
Susan lives in Manhattan and the East End of Long Island with her husband and their weight challenged cats DJ and Freddie.
