Critser's sharp-eyed reportage and sharp-tongued analysis make for a disarmingly funny and truly alarming book. Critser investigates the many factors of American life -- from supersize to Super Mario, from high-fructose corn syrup to the high cost of physical education in schools -- that have converged and conspired to make us some of the fattest people on the planet. He also explains why pediatricians are treating conditions rarely before noticed in children, why Type 2 diabetes is on the rise, and how agribusiness has unwittingly altered the American diet.

America is suffering an epidemic of obesity and we are fast catching up. The challenge to the US food industry in the 1970s was that their population was growing more slowly than their food supply. The answer was supersized portions, fast food, too little exercise, take-aways, the constant drip-feed of saturated fat and sugar, producing a society in which 61 per cent of the population is overweight. Heart disease, cardiovascular problems, strokes and above all diabetes are the result.

Exploring the intersection of personal health and the pharmaceutical industry, Greg Critser delves into how "big pharma" has shaped societal attitudes toward prescription drugs. He examines the emergence of distinct "pharmaceutical tribes" with varying beliefs and loyalties, highlighting the shift from physician-controlled medications to a culture of entitlement regarding these drugs. Critser raises critical questions about the paradox of public disdain for drug companies while simultaneously embracing their products, illuminating the complex relationship between society and pharmaceuticals.
