An advertisement from a publishing company about books in the food studies area came through our department a couple of weeks ago. I happened upon The World Is Fat from there. After all, I’ve enjoyed books like this in the past — maybe I’m a little masochistic and like to hear all about what we’re doing wrong. Remarkably, for a book that’s so short, Popkin manages to fit in quite a bit of repetition, and not even in an interesting way.

A pragmatic book that looks at societies as a whole are getting fat. Like other reviewers say here, I don't see a lot of new facts in here. He points out the usual suspects: food industry, fast food, sugar, and modern lifestyle.
Sorry, he didn't offers any silver bullet solutions but guess what? There probably isn't one. He can't be faulted for that.
