Product Description
Book Description
Welcome to Fat Land. Where the fries are extra large, the sodas are jumbo size and the jeans are "baggy fit". How did America get so fat, so fast? And are we going the same way?
Welcome to Fat Land. Where the fries are extra large, the sodas are jumbo size and the jeans are "baggy fit". How did America get so fat, so fast? And are we going the same way?
Greg Critser's brilliant expose of how the land of the free became the land of the super fat has caused a sensation in the States. Fat Land reveals why America is now the fattest nation on the planet (apart from South Seas Islands) with 60 per cent of its population overweight; how cheap fats and sugars introduced into diest in the 70s helped make calories stick; how ruthless marketing by fast-food companies ensured that portions (and waistlines) kept on growing; and how every aspect of American life--class politics, TV, family--contributed to the supersising of a nation.
Disarmingly funny about every diet fad, Critser casts his critical eye over the lies people have been telling themselves about how much they eat and how little they exercise, and shows, frighteningly, how children are the chief victims of a Fat America.
Fat Land will make you think hard about the cost in human lives of America's obesity explosion. And it will make you think twice before slumping on the sofa and ordering another takeaway. The butt stops here... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

EARL BUTZ, nominated by Richard Nixon in 1971 to be the eighteenth secretary of agriculture, conjured the airs of a courtly midwestern grandfather, the kind who liked to show up at Sunday dinner, give the blessing, lecture the grandchildren about patriotism, free trade, the goodness of farm life, and the evils that threatened such a life - and then go out to the backyard and tell off-color jokes to the assembled adults.
