Publisher Description
"When the world was a simpler place, the rich were fat, the poor were thin, and right-thinking people worried about how to feed the hungry. Now the rich are thin, the poor are fat, and right-thinking people are worrying about obesity.--The Economist, December 13, 2000 This old world isn't getting any bigger, but we are. We are getting heavier and wider; we drive bigger vehicles, live in larger homes, order "super-sized" sandwiches, desserts, and drinks. In fact, our super-sized appetite is taking a huge bite out of health budgets worldwide.
