Product Description
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.
