Product Description

Never has the immense, controversial and emotive subject that is FAT been more topical. In the Western world, and increasingly in the developing world, our intense preoccupation with body weight is expanding in direct proportion to our waistlines. In fact, according to some experts, we are in the midst of an 'obesity pandemic'. But why, when we've never spent more on diet programmes, products and pills, are we steadily getting fatter?
FAT: Exploding the Myths sets out to explore all sides of this complex and controversial subject, and to provide answers for the many questions raised.
Over 100 international experts in the field have been interviewed in the course of researching this book, providing access to the latest information on the subject. Around the world in slimming clubs, gyms, hospitals, schools, universities, eating disorders clinics, obesity clinics, fashion shows and magazines, food manufacturing companies, 'fat acceptance' groups and private homes, there are hundreds of people whose lives and careers are dominated by fat. FAT: Exploding the Myths brings their stories to life.
