A good journalist’s overview of the complex causes of present epidemic of
obesity, the commercial interests of the fast food industry - and the muck
put they in mass food in the interests of the processors rather than the
consumers, a reference to hunter-gatherer food (sadly wrong), the need for
more exercise, is to be found at:

The journalist makes no concessions to the politically-correct high-carb
hegemony and draws extensively on two US books: Schlosser's Fast Food
Nation and the more recent Fat Land by Greg Critser.  Nor does he pass the
problem over to the doctors and big pharma.  In fact he ends with a
dismissive reference to the possibility of an anti-obesity pill.

His approach to exercise picks up the recent Canadian Government
recommendation of an hour’s exercise every day (a bit mechanistic) but also
adds that ‘moderate exercise’ is relatively ineffective.

Recommended as an overview and for passing on to aquantances!
