Book excerpt: Raising Father is about caring and caring people, and the essentials in each that enable them. It is a story of role reversals and concurrent, clashing perspectives, as recorded by an articulate young daughter after her mother’s death. In this insightful saga, she weaves the brilliant narrative of her father Max, a conceptually challenged, creatively gifted, and recently widowed man. The story unfolds to introduce the now deeply missed person–-the deceased wife and mother—whose extraordinary care, acuity and integrity, nevertheless, continues to shape the ones she has so loved. What is in jeopardy is the trajectory of each of her loved ones, and the deep values and commitments that she riveted.

Download or read book The Fattening of America written by Eric A. Finkelstein and published by Wiley + ORM. This book was released on 2010-12-29 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to how America became the fattest nation, and how the food industry and the government keep it that way. In The Fattening of America, renowned health economist Eric Finkelstein, along with business writer Laurie Zuckerman, reveal how the US economy has become the driving force behind our expanding waistlines. Blending theory, research, and engaging personal anecdotes, the authors discuss how declining food costs—especially for high-calorie, low-nutrient foods—and an increasing usage of technology, which make Americans more sedentary, has essentially led us to eat more calories than we burn off. Praise for The Fattening of America “[Finkelstein and Zuckerman] show that our entire society profits from making people fat and then either keeping them fat or making them thin again. When you understand how these powerful forces work, you can do a better job of resisting them—and staying healthy.” —Jack Challem, bestselling author of The Food-Mood Solution and Stop Prediabetes Now “Everyone who eats food in America must read this book. It is a comprehensive guide to how we’ve become the fattest nation on the planet and how the food industry, in cahoots with the government, makes us one of the least healthy nations.” —Fred Pescatore, MD, MPH, CCN, author of The Hamptons Diet “The authors have done an excellent job talking to mainstream America about obesity. It brings together all of the latest research and packages it in a way that is engaging for the average person. I very much enjoyed the book and would recommend it for anyone interested in obesity. Well done.” —James O. Hill, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and author of The Step Diet: Count Steps, Not Calories to Lose Weight and Keep It Off Forever “An important book for everyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the underlying causes behind the obesity epidemic and options for addressing it.” —Barry Popkin, Carla Smith Chamblee Distinguished Professor of Global Nutrition at the University of North Carolina
