Increasing obesity levels are currently big news but do we think carefully enough about what this trend actually means? Everybody a " including doctors, parents, teachers, sports clubs, businesses and governments a " has a role to play in the a ~war on obesitya (TM). But is talk of an obesity a ~crisisa (TM) justified? Is it the product of measured scientific reasoning or age-old a ~habits of minda (TM)? Why is it happening now? And are there potential risks associated with talking about obesity as an a ~epidemica (TM)?

The Obesity Epidemic proposes that obesity science and the popular media present a complex mix of ambiguous knowledge, familiar (yet unstated) moral agendas and ideological assumptions.
