What is Fat Planet : the Obesity Trap and How We Can Escape It about?
**Our planet is in the grip of an obesity pandemic.** More than a billion people worldwide are overweight and over 600 million are obese. We live in a noxious environment in which it is much easier to get fat than to stay fit. How has this come to be? Who is to blame? What can we do? In __Fat Planet__, Dr David Lewis and Dr Margaret Leitch examine the social and psychological causes of the obesity pandemic in order to answer these questions. Their ground-breaking research highlights the behaviour of corporations that relentlessly promote foods high in sugar, fat and salt, and shows that these 'junk' foods have shockingly similar neurological effects to hard drugs. They consider the prevalence of food cues which unconsciously stimulate our desire to consume. They debunk the myths of fad diets and slimming pills, and suggest practical, easily implemented strategies for sustainable weight loss.
