This book offers a perspective that sees increasing obesity as a social phenomenon as well as a public health problem. It contains detailed accounts of three generations of Australians’ experiences of changing environments and the emergence of social trends such as increasing availability of convenience foods, the individualisation and commercialisation of leisure, car reliance, and busyness. Participants' narratives are interwoven with sociological and historical analyses of changes to show how contemporary Australians are experiencing and adapting to dramatic socio-cultural and environmental changes that are reshaping their lives and, in many cases, their bodies. The book demonstrates that obesity is an unintended consequence of economic development accompanied by profound socio-cultural changes, and by identifying the key developments the authors propose leverage points. While the research was conducted in Australia, the fundamental drivers of rapid weight gain are equally present in other modern, secular societies.

Obesitas memberikan efek yang merugikan mulai dari peningkatan risiko penyakit tidak menular hingga penurunan produktivitas dalam bekerja. Penelitian ini merupakan studi cross sectional yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya perbedaan faktor-faktor risiko yang bermakna pada kejadian obesitas kalangan pekerja PT X. Populasi penelitian ini adalah pekerja tetap yang terdaftar di PT X dengan sampel sebanyak 89 yang diperoleh dengan metode simple random sampling. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 12-24 Mei 2017 dengan menggunakan instrumen berupa kuesioner, mikrotoa, timbangan digital, dan food models. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 50,6 responden mengalami obesitas. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa penelitian ini belum dapat membuktikan adanya perbedaan bermakna antara faktor risiko yang diteliti pada kejadian obesitas kalangan pekerja di PT X. Peneliti menyarankan pada PT X untuk menyediakan sarana olahraga bagi pekerja untuk meningkatkan aktivitas fisik dan memberikan fasilitas untuk melakukan pemantauan status gizi.

This book offers new insight into the economic causes and consequences of America's dramatic weight gain over the past half century. It also uncovers the follies of seeking to remedy the country’s weight problems with government intrusions into people’s excess eating, arguing that controlling people’s eating habits is fundamentally different from controlling people’s smoking habits. This book also explores such consequences as higher fuel consumption and greenhouses gases, growing health insurance costs, reductions in the wages of heavy people, and reenforcement of rescue equipment.

The current obesity epidemic has been at the top of the national and, increasingly, global public agenda for the last decade-the subject of extensive and intensive concern, scrutiny, and corrective efforts from various quarters. In the United States, much of this attention is predicated on the official account of obesity-that it is a matter of personal responsibility, specifically to the end of monitoring and ensuring appropriate caloric balance. However, even though it continues to have cultural presumption, that account does not resonate with the populace, which may explain why efforts of redress have been notoriously ineffective. In this book, the author places obesity in cultural, political, and economic context. She argues that the failure of the official story of obesity mirrors broader cultural tensions and anxieties that similarly have failed to account for lived experience. Alternative narratives of obesity have thus surfaced in an attempt to address that breach by invoking the concept of authenticity in various ways. The author chronicles the most prominent of those competing stories, examining and evaluating each in relation to the cultural backdrop against which they are drawn.
