- Summary:
- Science writer Roger Bingham takes a light-hearted approach to a serious problem. As you enter Fat City, learn how our eating habits are based on our stone-age desires for fats, sweets, and salt. These ancient survival instincts, combined with genetics and environment, have contributed to weight control problems shared by 2/3 of the American population. Taking a scientific approach, several theories, including metabolic rate and the set point theory, are discussed to explain why some of us gain weight, while others do not.
