THE REAL WAR ON OBESITY - JOHN BOSWELL GEBUNDEN

This book sheds new light on the political battle to define and construct obesity as a policy
issue. Through a rich analysis of the debates in Australia and the UK  it develops a nuanced
analysis of the competing narratives that actors rely on to make sense of and argue about this
issue  and documents how and to what effect they draw on scientific evidence to support their
accounts. The real 'war on obesity'  it demonstrates  has always been over the meaning and
nature of this public health crisis. This insightful work will interest scholars of
interpretive policy studies  critical public health and science and technology studies.
