Summary

Obesity is a disease that involves excessive body fat that elevates the probability of medical issues. It's an intricate disease that increases the probability of ailments. Obesity can be generally self-treated and can be self-diagnosed. It doesn't require laboratory evaluations or imaging. However, it can be chronic and could last a lifetime. This book will help expose the triggers and provide a way to stop obesity. Bear in mind that your health is the wealth. It'll be worth it for you to achieve the ideal so you can be healthy and survive. 

Obesity costs our society billions of dollars annually in lost earnings and healthcare expenditures, approximately half of which is paid by the government through Medicare and Medicaid. This book explores the contentious claim by well-being critics whose public aid programs, such as Food Stamps and the National School Lunch programs, contribute to obesity among the poor. Author Laura Jessy Highbury uses empirical evidence from a range of disciplines - anthropology, economics, epidemiology, medicine, nutrition science, social advertising, psychology, public health, sociology, and urban planning - to examine this claim, and also to check if additional causal processes are causing obesity.

Questioning the utility of social policy, the book lays out different hypotheses, as well as the potential causal pathways inside each. The four fundamental chapters test if “public aid induces obesity“, if "obesity triggers general help", if “poverty induces both general aid and obesity", and what the “Factor X triggers" are.
