Men and the War on Obesity: A Sociological Study Books
Product Description
Is obesity really a broadcast health problem and what does the construction of obesity as a health problem mean for men?
According to official statistics, the majority of men in nations such as England and the USA are hefty or obese. Broadcast health officials, researchers, governments and various agencies are alarmed and have issued dire warnings about a global ‘obesity epidemic’. This perceived risk to broadcast health seemingly legitimates declarations of war hostile to what one US General practitioner General called ‘the terror within’. Yet, small is known about consequence-correlated issues among everyday men in this context of symbolic or communicated violence.
Men and the War on Obesity is an original, timely and controversial study. Using observations from a mixed-sex slimming club, interviews with men whom medicine might mark hefty or obese and other sources, this study urges a rethink of consequence or stout as a broadcast health come forth and sometimes private distress. Recognizing the sociological wisdom that things are not as they seem, it challenges obesity warmongering and the many battles it mandates or incites. This vital book may possibly therefore help to exchange current thought and practices not only in relation to men but also women and children who are defined as hefty, obese or too stout. It will be of interest to students and researchers of gender and the body within sociology, gender studies and cultural studies as well as broadcast health researchers, policymakers and practitioners.
