Passing Love
and Traditions:
My Grandmother
Beauty’s Chicken
Soup with a Kick
By Dawn Lerman | JNS.org
I n her bestselling book, My Fat Dad: A Memoir of
Food, Love, and Family, with Recipes, The New York
Times wellness blogger and nutritionist Dawn Lerman
shares her food journey, and that of her father, a copy-
writer from the Mad Men era of advertising.

Dawn spent her early childhood constantly hungry as
her ad man dad — responsible for iconic slogans such as
“Coke is it” and “Leggo my Eggo” — pursued endless fad
diets: from Atkins to Pitkin to the Rice Diet. At 450 pounds
at his heaviest, he insisted Dawn and her mother adapt to
his saccharine-laced, freeze-dried concoctions to help keep him on track,
even though no one else was overweight. Dawn’s mother, on the other hand,
could barely be bothered to eat a can of tuna over the sink.

Dawn Lerman and her grandmother, Beauty.
