Our government is telling us that obesity is a major health crisis, that sixty percent of Americans are "overweight" and that one in four is obese. But how true are these claims? In Fat Politics, Eric Oliver unearths the real story behind America's "obesity epidemic." Oliver shows how a handful of doctors, government bureaucrats, and health researchers, with financial backing from the drug and weight-loss industry, have campaigned to arbitrarily misclassify more than sixty million Americans as "overweight," to inflate the health risks of being fat, and to falsely promote the idea that obesity is a killer disease.
