This book was written by my nephew, so I may be a little slanted with my review. Dan has done a lot of thinking and research about the stigma attached to the word obesity. Society has a lot of disregard for people who are overweight and could that be the reason that people fail to try to stay healthier or slimmer? As he states in the book, there are those who try some of the "miracle" ways to lose weight, fail, then keep trying, keep failing, so they give up. Parental influence, television, peers, etc all play a role in forming a persons image of what they should be. In other societies, weight is a sign of happiness, wealth, general pleasure. The book is very well researched and definitely makes you think about the absolute stigma attached to weight.
