Hope and Suffering
Yes, yes. I know the world is fat. At least, my world is, not so sure about the rest of it. So it would have been nice to have more hard facts, research, charts and graphs rather than anecdotal evidence from the authors' life about the fattening of people he knew.
Also, the book would have benefited by having solutions to the fat problem. Barry Popkin spent way too much time counting calories rather than getting to the root of our fatness; lack of proper nutrition, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables and a sedentary life style.
He spent what felt like a majority of time in the book discussing ways to make the big corporations (eg McDonalds and Coke) lower calories in their products rather than education for children about healthy eating.
