Book Synopsis Obesity in Canada by : Jenny Ellison

Download or read book Obesity in Canada written by Jenny Ellison and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical professionals, social policy makers, and the media have all declared that Canada is in the grip of an obesity epidemic. Conceptualizing obesity as a biological condition, these experts insist that it needs to be “prevented” and “managed.” Obesity in Canada takes a broader, critical perspective of our supposed epidemic. Examining obesity in its cultural and historical context, the book’s contributors ask how we measure health and wellness, where our attitudes to obesity develop from, and what the consequences are of naming and targeting as “obese” those whose body weights do not match our expectations. A broad survey of the issues surrounding the obesity panic in Canada, it is the first collection of fat studies and critical obesity studies from a distinctly Canadian perspective.
