genaveve6's review against another edition
3.0
A co-worker loaned this book to me with the warning that it would be "preaching to the choir." And she was right, it was.
**tiny spoiler**
This book examines obesity on a nature vs. nurture basis. And the insights were pretty interesting, especially the part about the importance of diet during pregnancy (basically if you are undergoing starvation during your first and second trimesters, your baby has a higher possibility of being obese because their metabolism/appetite is screwed up before they are even born).
This book was published in 2002, and there's lots of science mentioned, so that means it's all pretty much 10 years old. I would like to read a sequel written now and see what/if things have changed.
