Book Description: Since 1980, obesity rates in the United States have doubled, going from 15 percent to nearly 30 percent of the adult population. As the number of people with obesity increases, the health complications associated with this condition also increase. Potentially deadly conditions like coronary heart disease, high blood pressures, type 2 diabetes, and many forms of cancer, all conditions that may be associated with or aggravated by excess weight, are not only common among adults, they are increasing among children as well. Despite growing awareness of obesity as a serious health issue and legitimate medical condition, many people continue to see obesity as a personal problem brought on by laziness, gluttony, or other destructive habits. Many people simply don't understand that one's weight isn't merely a result of eating and exercise habits. Weight is also the product of genetics and complicated environmental and social factors, factors often outside a person's ability to control. This book confronts the myths surrounding obesity and explains many of the true causes behind the health crisis threatening Americans today.
