Reddit reviews The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite

Oh, my God. This is gold. I love the hypocrisy: raging against the pharmaceutical and weight loss industries (which is arguably a legitimate beef) while ignoring the fact that the food industry spends millions on lobbying and marketing to keep people in the dark about nutrition.

BBW BTW, if anyone wants a couple of fascinating reads on how the food industry operates, here are two of my favorites. Both are cheap on Amazon and will do terrible things to your jimmies.

• The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite by David Kessler
  
  
• Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss

I read this book a while ago: http://www.amazon.com/The-End-Overeating-Insatiable-American/dp/B004NSVE32

"The End of Overeating" It basically talks about how restaurants and food manufacturers are making foods that completely mess with our brains. They spend a lot of money on the perfect balance of fat, sugar, and salt to create basically a completely insatiable desire to eat and eat and eat. The shit is like crack!

I honestly can't tell if the book is Fatlogic or not, it takes a lot of responsibility out of the hands of the "eaters", but still says flat out that people are overeating. The idea of intuitive eating working in a world where the ones selling food are deliberately trying to get you to overeat seems pretty ridiculous.
