Lots of big words, huh?

This book may have been discussed here before. So far I find it most
interesting to read about the deadly combo of genetic predisposition to
obesity coupled with chronic overeating and poor nutrition.

From Publishers Weekly
The war against obesity must go beyond personal responsibility and will
power to encompass a Gandhian mass movement against a food industry and
a social order intent on fattening us, argues this fact-filled but
ferocious manifesto. The authors, academics with the Yale Center for
Eating and Weight Disorders, contend that our abundant, super-sized
meals and our modern, sedentary lifestyles have formed a "toxic
environment" that indulges our genetic fat-storage proclivities to a
pathological degree. The result is an "epidemic" of obesity,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes and low self-esteem.

(I have no $$ interest in this book)
