In the modern jungle of burgers, couches, and remote controls,
obesity is an enormous and growing epidemic. Weight-loss books and
diet gurus urge us to "listen to our bodies," but our instincts are
designed for the African savannah, not food courts. The sugary and
fatty foods that we, as hunter-gatherers, are programmed to forage
used to be hard to come by. Now they're as close as the vending
machine down the hall. Radical changes are necessary and,
fortunately, are biologically easier than small or gradual changes
in diet. Barrett tells us how to reprogram our bodies, break food
addictions, and ignore our attraction to "supernormal stimuli"
artificial creations that appeal to our instincts more than the
natural objects they mimic. Barrett delves into scientific research
from animal ethology to evolution to show the disastrous direction
in which our instincts have led us, and how, using our intellect,
we can get back on course."
