Synopsis
Author Frances M. Berg explores the cultural roots of eating disorders. Women's dysfunctional relationship with eating is a direct response to society's unhealthy attitudes towards the body and fear of fat. Over the course of history, as society's ideal physical proportions for women have gotten smaller (and more unrealistic), problems with weight obsession, body image, and dysfunctional eating have increased. Berg analyzes society's fat phobia (health risks for overweight people are exaggerated, Berg says) and how eating disorders have grown out of this cultural distortion. Berg dedicates the second half of the book to how to modify attitudes towards eating and create a healthier perception of the human body.

Publisher's Note
Designed to challenge America's growing obsession with thinness, this book reveals the profound mental and physical effects on women struggling with their weight. It examines the way weight obsession consumes women, shatters lives, and even kills. Documented are four major weight and eating problems--eating disorders, dysfunctional eating, size prejudice, and overweight. A warning call to health professionals, families, and leaders, it gives clear guidelines on how women can bring about meaningful change in their lives to improve health and well-being.
