What in American society has changed so dramatically to make nearly 60 percent of us overweight? Can we fix what the surgeon general calls a national “epidemic of obesity”? Greg Critser engages every aspect of American life to determine how we have made ourselves the second fattest people on the planet (after South Sea Islanders). Fat Land grapples with the expanding American waistline by tracing surprising connections among class, politics, culture, and economics.

Dieting is hard for most of us, downright impossible for a few. We can all use a little help from some detailed information, and the words of wisdom found in a good book. With a specific medical condition we need to know as much as possble about the condition, so our diet will be a help rather than a hindrance.
Merely trying to lose weight is hard enough. Losing weight while staying healthy and happy is even harder. But I know it's possible. Fat Land : How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World by Greg Critser can help.
