Fat, Fate, and Disease Why exercise and diet are not enough

"There is no denying the obesity epidemic in the developed world is quickly becoming a global pandemic. There are many contemporary books written about the problem, from causes and consequences, to how to stem its rising tide. Fat, Fate and Disease can be placed on the relatively popular side of the obesity literature... The premise of the book is that human beings are destined to be overweight and suffer chronic disease." -- Jane Kolodinsky, World Medical & Health Policy
