Description

Obesity Discourse and Fat Politics: Research, Critique and Interventions provides a necessary examination of the rhetoric surrounding weight and obesity in modern society. While many policy reports and white papers rely on alarmist claims regarding an obesity time-bomb, this volume offers a different approach. It challenges the common assumption that fatness is inherently damaging to national economies and public health. Published by Routledge, this collection includes diverse contributions from researchers in the UK, Canada, the USA, and Australia. The content stems from an Economic and Social Research Council seminar series, providing academic depth to the study of fat politics. By presenting alternative critical perspectives, this book serves as a vital resource for those studying the social, economic, and political dimensions of the alleged public health crisis. It is an essential text for students and professionals looking to understand the complexities of weight-based discourse in a global context.
