On the snowy Saturday of January 8th, 2005, the Cornell Club of Rochester held its annual Founder's Day luncheon. Professor David Levitsky braved the roads and drove from Ithaca to deliver a fascinating lecture on nutrition. Dr. Levitsky focused mainly on the subject of low-carbohydrate diets – their origin, their effectiveness, and their dangers. He also provided some advice on alternative methods to control weight. Overall, a fascinating look at a subject that (unfortunately, perhaps) has great relevance to many of us. All photographs courtesy of Diane Wyant and Alex Chernavsky
