Inhaltsangabe

Most people try out diets just to see if they work. One friend cuts out sugar, a second cuts out fat. Another mumbles something about gut microbes. Even scientists still seem to be arguing about what causes obesity, so what hope is there for the rest of us?

Anthony Warner, author of The Angry Chef , has decided to get to the bottom of it once and for all. Is obesity really an epidemic? Can you be addicted to food? Can't you just exercise your way to freedom? And what the heck is a food desert?

You want the truth? The science, without the prejudice? You can handle it.

I have spoken to geneticists, molecular biologists, economists, biochemists, neuroscientists, addiction researchers, psychologists, microbiologists, psychiatrists, philosophers, dietitians, nutritionists, sociologists, eating disorder specialists, medical doctors, endocrinologists, geographers, and sensory scientists. I have spoken to those who dedicate their lives to helping obese people, and to others who live with their own larger bodies every day.

Everyone I spoke to had their own specialism and knowledge, and each gave me something unique and interesting to think about. Many of them are quoted in the text, but others simply helped me increase my understanding. Although I had differing lines of enquiry for everyone, I ended each interview with a couple of common questions. I asked everybody what they thought the main reasons were that obesity continues to rise, and what might be done to bring it down.
