Fat Politics: The Real Story behind America's Obesity Epidemic

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.
Fat Politics: The Real Story behind America's Obesity Epidemic - J. Eric Oliver
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 misclassify more than sixty million Americans as "overweight," to inflate the health risks of being fat, and to promote the idea that obesity is a killer disease. In reviewing the scientific evidence, Oliver shows there is little proof either that obesity causes so many diseases and deaths
