{"product_id":"fat-land-greg-critser-9780618380602","title":"Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this astonishing expose, journalist Greg Critser looks beyond the sensational headlines to reveal why nearly 60 percent of Americans are now overweight. Critser's sharp-eyed reportage and sharp-tongued analysis make for a disarmingly funny and truly alarming book. Critser investigates the many factors of American life -- from supersize to Super Mario, from high-fructose corn syrup to the high cost of physical education in schools -- that have converged and conspired to make us some of the fattest people on the planet. He also explains why pediatricians are treating conditions rarely before noticed in children, why Type 2 diabetes is on the rise, and how agribusiness has unwittingly altered the American diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Critser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618380604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618380602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvest Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.42w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/11\/2004 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 40","brand":"Greg Critser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047462629631,"sku":"9780618380602","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_854e71fd-e0ac-4022-88ee-99c007169467.jpg?v=1684990353","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fat-land-greg-critser-9780618380602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
