Be prepared for some serious agenda-pushing. The author hits you over the head again and again: Class, not individual choice, is why people are fat. Yet, never once does he offer any evidence to support that.
He wants to blame every corporation, government, and food maker out there, but never ONCE addresses the idea that people can make decisions for themselves about what to eat or not to eat.
He's basically saying this: You're fat because of other people and someone else needs to finance a solution (soon!!) to bring you out of it unless you're rich. You have no responsibility.
Good medical diabetes type 2 horror stories in Chapter 6, though.
