Sweet and Low is the amazing, bittersweet, hilarious story of an American family and its patriarch, a short-order cook named Ben Eisenstadt who, in the years after World War II, invented the sugar packet and Sweet'N Low, converting his Brooklyn cafeteria into a factory and amassing the great fortune that would destroy his family.

If you could sum up Sweet and Low in three words, what would they be?
Tough-minded, insightful
Any additional comments?
This book presents a smart, clear-eyed look at the complex dynamics surrounding family, food and money. It's also an interesting historical look at Brooklyn, 20th century Jews, and the evolution of the dieting industry. I liked the passion that the author put into reading his story.
