Medical professionals, social policy makers, and the media have all
declared that Canada is in the grip of an obesity epidemic.
Conceptualizing obesity as a biological condition, these experts
insist that it needs to be "prevented" and "managed." Obesity in
Canada takes a broader, critical perspective of our supposed
epidemic. Examining obesity in its cultural and historical context,
the book's contributors ask how we measure health and wellness,
where our attitudes to obesity develop from, and what the
consequences are of naming and targeting as "obese" those whose
body weights do not match our expectations. A broad survey of the
issues surrounding the obesity panic in Canada, it is the first
collection of fat studies and critical obesity studies from a
distinctly Canadian perspective.
