Obézní planeta - Past zvaná obezita a jak z ní uniknout – Lewis David (2017)

OUR PLANET IS A VICTIM OF THE OBESITY PANDEMIC More than one billion people worldwide suffer from overweight, and over 600 million people are obese. We live in an obesogenic environment where it is easier to gain weight than to stay slim. How did this happen? Who is to blame? What can we do about it? Dr. David Lewis and Dr. Margaret Leitch in their book OBESITY PLANET attempt to uncover the reasons behind the obesity pandemic by examining its social and psychological aspects. They employ a pioneering research approach that emphasizes the behavior of various corporations specializing in selling foods high in sugars, fats, and salt. At the same time, they present shocking evidence that 'fast' food has a similar neurological effect as hard drugs. They also argue that the extent of food incentives and stimuli, which unconsciously stimulate our desire for food, is part of the problem. Concurrently, they debunk the myth of reduction diets and weight loss products, recommending practical and easily implementable strategies for weight reduction. The evidence is clear: we must unequivocally consider obesity a problem, or we will face catastrophic consequences. And it is not too late to change.
