DESCRIPTION:
Here Kessler (A Question of Intent) describes how, since the 1980s, the food industry, in collusion with the advertising industry, and lifestyle changes have short-circuited the body's self-regulating mechanisms, leaving many at the mercy of reward-driven eating. Although not everyone succumbs, more people of all ages are being set up for a lifetime of food obsession due to the ever-present availability of foods laden with salt, fat and sugar.

A gentle though urgent plea for reform, Kessler's book provides a simple food rehab program to fight back against the industry's relentless quest for profits while an entire country of people gain weight and get sick. Through the evidence of research, personal stories (including candid accounts of his own struggles) and examinations of specific foods produced by giant food cor
Kessler cracks the code of overeating by explaining how our bodies and minds are changed when we consume foods that contain sugar, fat, and salt. Food manufacturers create products by manipulating these ingredients to stimulate our appetites, setting in motion a cycle of desire and consumption that ends with a nation of overeaters. But it’s harder to understand why we can't seem to stop eating—even when we know better. David Kessler, the dynamic former FDA commissioner who reinvented the food label and tackled the tobacco industry, now reveals how the food industry has hijacked the brains of millions of Americans. When we want so badly to say "no," why do we continue to reach for food? Dr. Kessler’s cutting-edge investigation offers new insights and helpful tools to help us find a solution. There has never been a more thorough, compelling, or in-depth analysis of why we eat the way we do.. The End of Overeating uncovers the shocking facts about how we lost control over our eating habits—and how we can get it back. The result? America’s number-one public health issue. The End of Overeating explains for the first time why it is exceptionally difficult to resist certain foods and why it’s so easy to overindulge. Dr. Dr. Most of us know what it feels like to
Awesome book, tons of information! Cheyenne This book was the textbook for my nutrition class. Kessler made it a very interesting read that flowed very nicely. There were so many stories and examples in it, that you didn't realize you were learning things. I have recommended it to several of my friends and they all feel the same way. Great read!. You will never look at food the same again. Great read and definitely an eye opener! How perverse the food chain is today and how big agro manipulated the market so what we eat we always crave. The True Answer Sherrie I have tried nutrition books, you name it. Nothing has worked for any length of time. This book is the working solution I have found after years of searching for the real problem about why on earth it is that I simply cannot stop this merry-go-round of overeating. This book has given ME THE KEYS to finally experience true on going freedom in my everyday dealings with life, stress and highly palatable foods that surround me every where I go. Thank you so much David Kessler for your commit into understanding why some of us cannot stop overeating.
