Men and the War on Obesity: A Sociological Study
Author: Lee F Monaghan
According to official statistics, nearly two thirds of men in Britain are overweight or obese. Men and the War on Obesity offers a timely, critical and original take on the obesity debate, bringing male bodies into the frame and questioning the claim from public health that millions of people are unhealthy because they are 'overweight' or 'obese'. It focuses upon everyday men, who, according to medicalized ideas of appropriate weight for height and like most men in developed nations, are too heavy.
This challenging work redresses the gender bias in the existing literature and questions the degradation of big bodies as part of the widely declared war on fat.
