Ever wonder why more and more Americans are getting really fat? Ever wonder just how that happened? This book sets out to reveal the answers to these and more questions about America and obesity. This is a frightening read! Critser details just how the extra calories got into the food, and why no one stopped that from happening. He gives details about just what happens to the body of someone who becomes obese, and clearly defines a link between obesity and poverty. He also describes the connection between how Americans think, and how they eat. This book is very eye-opening. I recommend it to anyone who is wondering about the same questions I was wondering about when I decided to read this book.
