Summary:

This book presents a collection of writings by expert researchers from Canada, the United States, and Australia who are committed to finding common cause and common ground in the prevention of eating disorders and obesity. The eleven chapters in this book seek to create a new public health approach to prevention of the spectrum of weight-related disorders, so that recipients of prevention efforts at multiple levels in society are not left confused and disheartened by conflicting public policies, messages, and programs.
