When it was first published,   Fat Is A Feminist Issue became an instant classic & it is as relevant today as it was then. Reflecting on our increasingly diet & body-obsessed society, Susie Orbach's new introduction explains how generations of women & girls are growing up absorbing the eating anxieties around them. In an age where women want to be sexy, nurturing, domestic goddesses, confident at work, & feminine too, the twenty-first-century woman is poorly armed for survival. Never before has the  Fat Is A Feminist Issue revolution been more in need of revival. Exploring our love/hate relationship with food, Susie Orbach describes how fat is about so much more than food. It is a response to our social situation; the way we are seen by others & ourselves. Too often food is a source of anguish, as are our bodies. But  Fat Is A Feminist Issue discusses how we can turn food into a friend & find ways to accept ourselves for who & how we are. Following the step-by-step guide, you too can put an end to food anxieties & dieting. ...

What in American society has changed so dramatically that nearly 60 percent of us are now overweight, plunging the nation into what the surgeon general calls an 'epidemic of obesity'? Greg Critser engages every aspect of American life
- class, politics, culture, & economics
- to show how we have made ourselves the second fattest people on the planet (after South Sea Islanders). Fat Land highlights the groundbreaking research that implicates cheap fats & sugars as the alarming new metabolic factor making our calories stick & shows how & why children are too often the chief metabolic victims of such foods. No one else writing on fat America takes as hard a line as Critser on the institutionalized lies we've been telling ourselves about how much we can eat & how little we can exercise. His expose of the Los Angeles schools' opening of the nutritional floodgates in the lunchroom & his examination of the political & cultural forces that have set the bar on American fitness low & then lower, are both discerning reporting & impassioned wake-up calls. Disarmingly funny, Fat Land leaves no diet book
- including Dr. Atkins's
- unturned. Fashions, both leisure & street, & American-style religion are subject to Critser's gimlet eye as well. Memorably, Fat Land takes on baby-boomer parenting shibboleths
- that young children won't eat past the point of being full & that the dinner table isn't the place to talk about food rules
- & gives advice many families will use to lose. Critser's brilliantly drawn futuristic portrait of a Fat America just around the corner & his all too contemporary foray into the diabetes ward of a major children's hospital make Fat Land a chilling but brilliantly rendered portrait of the cost in human lives
- many of them very young lives
- of America's obesity epidemic.

Common wisdom, encouraged by pharmaceutical companies with a financial interest in the matter, invariably blames cholesterol & saturated fats for everything from heart disease to stroke. Distilling 50 years of research on the subject, & citing studies largely ignored by the mainstream, Fats Are Good for You & Other Secrets offers a provocative challenge to this idea. Author Jon Kabara begins by revealing the surprisingly varied roles played by fats & cholesterol in the body as a source of all sex hormones, vitamin D, & bile acids, & a necessary factor in digestion & the formation of cell membranes. The author describes the powerful antimicrobial & antiviral effects of fats & their positive influence on oral health. He examines the relationship of dietary fat to the immune system & the role it plays in cancer, & continues with a detailed look at how plaque buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis) begins & how inflammation & infection, rather than fat & cholesterol, cause its development. Kabaras sensible, science-based advocacy for understanding the health benefits of moderate cholesterol & medium-chain fats, & the true causes of diseases linked to them, makes this book both important & timely. ...
