Food Fight: The Inside Story of the Food Industry, America's Obesity Crisis, & What We Can Do About It, published on September 16, 2004, by McGraw-Hill, was written by Kelly D. Brownell, Director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale. The book looks at the causes of the obesity epidemic in America and why the crisis is spreading overseas. The book claims to reveal both the roots of the problem and what might be done, exploring the convergence of human nature, public indifference, and capitalistic spirit that has transformed the American waistline and jeopardized the nation’s health. The authors critique the current culture of America, one that fosters a "toxic food environment" and promotes poor eating habits. The book also proposes public policy solutions for reversing the obesity trend and enabling individuals, families, and communities to adopt healthier diets. Source: Wikipedia (en)
