"Food Fight" Book with Good Insights
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. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...02500?v=glance 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) -- Diva ****** There is no substitute for the right food |
