Presenting the story of America's obesity epidemic, this book examines the political forces that shape America's obesity 'epidemic'. It argues that the concern with obesity is based less in science and more in the financial interests of the health care system. It concludes that the obesity epidemic is symptomatic of some larger contradictions.
