| Summary |
The demonisation of overweight people by the media and politicians is unrelenting. Sarah Boseley, the Guardian's award-winning health editor, argues it's time we understood the complex reality of what makes us fat. Featuring in-depth interviews with behavioural scientists and industry experts, yo-yo dieters and people who have gone under the knife, The Shape We're In is essential reading for anyone interested in their health and the health of their children.--Page [4] of cover. |
