From a group of aspiring nondieters to a divergent obesity researcher, DIETING: At War with our Bodies hears from people attempting to abandon a culture that idealizes the thin, congratulates the dieter and demoralizes the fat. Not an easy personal or political task in the face of prevailing attitudes toward fat within the media, the health community and their peers
