The Seven Deadly Sins of Obesity: How the Modern World is Making us Fat

Jane Dixon, Dorothy H. Broom

    Research output: Book/ReportEdited Bookpeer-review

    Abstract

    Argues that the skyrocketing increase in obesity levels is not caused by individuals' moral weakness, but is due to modern society lacking the virtues necessary for people to adopt and maintain healthy behaviours. In a fresh and highly original approach, the book proceeds to identify a set of seven social and environmental 'sins' that characterise our contemporary world, and then describes how each impacts on the level of obesity.
