This book sheds new light on the political battle to define and
construct obesity as a policy issue. Through a rich analysis of the
debates in Australia and the UK, it develops a nuanced analysis of
the competing narratives that actors rely on to make sense of and
argue about this issue, and documents how and to what effect they
draw on scientific evidence to support their accounts. The real
'war on obesity', it demonstrates, has always been over the meaning
and nature of this public health crisis. This insightful work will
interest scholars of interpretive policy studies, critical public
health and science and technology studies.
