Blending theory, research, and engaging personal anecdotes the authors discuss how declining food costs-especially for high-calorie, low-nutrient foods-and an increasing usage of technology, which make Americans more sedentary, has essentially led us to eat more calories than we burn off.ObesityEconomic aspectsUnited StatesObesityEconomic aspects362.196/39800973Finkelstein Eric518714Zuckerman Laurie1972-1806006MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969212903321The fattening of America4354921UNINA
