About

We are facing a gathering health crisis of epic proportions. The crisis is obesity and the diseases linked to it-hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. While multinational drug companies race to find a cure, the problem only worsens, with experts declaring that the UK is the second most obese nation on the planet and that 31,000 death a year in Britain are obesity related.
In a rare blend of cutting-edge science, history and personal stories, Shell builds a compelling narrative culminating in a thought-provoking-and radical-call to arms. This is the definitive account of how the western world got fat-and what we can do about it.
