Shell purports to stand apart from the purveyors of fad diets and failed slimming pills, yet book_review her work involves just as brash a marketing exercise as theirs.She is selling two ideas. One is that obesity is building into a grand international tragedy. Everyone from the morbidly obese to those with flabby book_review arms and a slight waistband overhang is lumped together in one great mass of 'casualties' and 'victims'. She describes obesity researchers as 'heroes'. That Frank Shuttlesmith from Des Moines, 48 years old and with generations of comfortable forebears stretching out behind him, book_review is a noble victim of a fearful global epidemic because he's thick around the middle, doesn't care to walk and enjoys extra cheese on his burgers, is an attractive proposition.The other idea she is selling is that society has been unfair to the overweight and the obese; that science tells us people are fat because they are genetically programmed to eat more.
