Description:
Picador, 1997. Hardcover. Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J in good condition. 1997 Picador edition. . Richard Klein discusses why despite ever greater efforts to be thin, western populations are generally fatter than in previous years. Explores the origins and uses of the word fat and the concepts associated with it, suggesting that people should in fact treasure fat in their diets. Eat Fat is a perverse, delightful and ingenious celebration of fat. In it Richard Klein argues against dieting and against our culture's obsession with weight; as the Western world appears to be getting fatter and dieticians are getting richer he wonders whether there is a good reason for fat as he delights in all its forms, shapes and sizes. "This is a splendid blast against fattism. Anyone carrying an ounce of the stuff will be cheered by Klein's assault" Peter McKay, Mail on Sunday; "A witty and informed look at the skinny emperors of dieting" Independent.

London England: Picador, 1997. 'Fat is beautiful, sexy and strong. Politicians cultivate it, singers require it, gourmets appreciate it, and lovers play with it. Fat is a fabulous three-letter word.' So ends the preface to Richard Kelin's new book, a perverse, delightful and ingenious celebration of fat. In it he argues against dieting and against our culture's current obsession with weight; as the western world appears to be getting fatter he wonders whether there is a good reason for fat as he delights in all its forms, shapes and sizes. While there is ample evidence that fat is unhealthy for some, for the vast majority of us the risks involved in combating it must be seriously evaluated. As Richard Klein writes 'Fat serves to embody our drive for satisfaction and the urge to pleasure, as well as much that is self-destructive and self demeaning in our lives'. Cheeky and playful yet devastating in its insights, Eat Fat intends nothing less than a revolution in how we think…
