Synopsis:
Journeys into the past to investigate America's obsession with weight and interviews today's weight-loss profiteers, coming to the conclusion that, far from helping people lose weight, the diet gurus contribute to Americans' weight obsession and obesity.
Review: An engagingly written, well-guided tour of what must be the tenth circle of Hell: the barrage of diets, diet gurus, slimming drugs, and huckster cures aimed at excess pounds. Laura Fraser, a contributing editor to Health magazine and onetime bulimic, brings insight, skepticism, humor, and a sometimes jaundiced eye to her investigation of the diet industry and anti-diet backlash. She questions some key studies on the dangers of obesity and marshals evidence that the cure--be it papaya or protein jags, eschewing fat or getting stomach staples--is not always worth the pain.
