This book addresses the obesity epidemic from a political, economic
and social perspective. Examining the populations that suffer the
greatest from political and economic decision-making associated
with obesity prevalence, this book utilizes a contemporary
framework to discuss obesity. While it does examine the behavioral
risks associated with rising obesity rates, it also explores the
political level, by evaluating theories in social justice and the
political economy that foster or restrict at-risk behaviors. It
considers the economic context through rising income inequality
levels in the US. It also critiques the actions of higher
institutions, including transnational corporations, as social
contributors to this epidemic. Finally, it compares global and
national challenges of the epidemic.
