Review

"… a superb contribution to the sociology of knowledge, and an essential text for anyone who wants to understand the current moral panic over fat."

Paul Campos, University of Colorado, author of The Obesity Myth

'The Obesity Epidemic is a superb contribution to the sociology of knowledge, and an essential text for anyone who wants to understand the current moral panic over fat.' - Paul Campos, University of Colorado, author of The Obesity Myth

'The strength in this book lies in its ability to provide its readers with a critical view of obesity science by challenging them to go beyond traditional thinking ... reminding them of the harmful and stigmatizing consequences of adopting a 'war on obesity' mentality ... This book is an essential read for anyone who is interested in health, obesity, health promotion, and public health.' - Krista Rondeau, Dieticians of Canada

Product Description
This is a controversial book about a critical theme in health and exercise studies. It provides much-needed, thorough and reflective analysis of the current state of research and is set to contribute a great deal to the debate.
