The author examines the history of obesity and its distribution by social class and geography, the environmental effects of overconsumption and economic remedies such as the introduction of a sugar tax to reduce obesity. Joshua also considers the politics of corporate social responsibility of food and beverage corporations and how this could prevent poor health decisions. This is the final title in a four volume series ?The Economics of Addictive Behaviours?, consisting of three additional volumes on smoking, alcohol abuse and illicit drug abuse.
