We are, supposedly, in the midst of an obesity epidemic. But as theories of what is causing it multiply and contradict each other, we should remember that each age, culture, and tradition defines what is an unacceptable – unhealthy, ugly, or corrupt – body weight.

ATLANTA – We are, supposedly, in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Everyone is getting fatter. Children are fatter than their parents. Epidemics caused by fat are now manifest: Type 2 diabetes, increased rates of heart and cardiovascular disease, and notably more cancers, such as breast cancer. This “globesity” epidemic is seen in poor countries as well as in wealthy ones.
