Synopsis
... by the end of the last century, supersizing - the ultimate expression of the value meal revoultion - reigned. As of 1996 some 25 per cent of the $97 billion spent on fast food came from items promoted on the basis of either larger sizer or extra portions. A serving of McDonald's french fries had ballooned from 200 calories (1960) to 320 calories (late 1970s) to 450 calories (mid 1990s) to 540 calories (late 1990s) to the present 610 calories. In fact everything on the menu had exploded in size. What was once a 590 calorie meal was now 1550 calories.

Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World
Vendeur : Bookbot, Prague, Rébublique tchèque
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Softcover. Etat : Fine. In this astonishing expose, journalist Greg Critser looks beyond the sensational headlines to reveal why nearly 60 percent of Americans are now overweight. Critser's sharp-eyed reportage and sharp-tongued analysis make for a disarmingly funny and truly alarming book. Critser investigates the many factors of American life -- from supersize to Super Mario, from high-fructose corn syrup to the high cost of physical education in schools -- that have converged and conspired to make us some of the fattest people on the planet. He also explains why pediatricians are treating conditions rarely before noticed in children, why Type 2 diabetes is on the rise, and how agribusiness has unwittingly altered the American diet.
