About this ebook
Fat Chance
‘’Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease" by Robert Lustig sets the stage for the rest of the book by providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of our society's relationship with food and health.
Lustig begins by highlighting the stark reality of the obesity and metabolic disease epidemics, citing alarming statistics and trends that demonstrate the severity of the problem. He notes that these conditions are not only devastating for individuals but also have a profound impact on our healthcare system and economy.
The author then delves into the root causes of these epidemics, arguing that they are not solely the result of personal choice or lack of willpower. Rather, they are the consequence of a complex interplay between biology, environment, and societal factors. Lustig contends that our modern diet, dominated by processed foods and added sugars, is a primary driver of these epidemics.
