In the crowded and busy arena of obesity and fat studies, there is
a lack of attention to the lived experiences of people, how and why
they eat what they do, and how people in cross-cultural settings
understand risk, health, and bodies. This volume addresses the
lacuna by drawing on ethnographic methods and analytical emic
explorations in order to consider the impact of cultural
difference, embodiment, and local knowledge on understanding
obesity. It is through this reconstruction of how obesity and
fatness are studied and understood that a new discussion will be
introduced and a new set of analytical explorations about obesity
research and the effectiveness of obesity interventions will be
established.
