Greg Critser contributes regularly to USA Today, the Los Angeles Times and Harper's Magazine, where Fat Land originated as a cover article. He lives in Pasadena, California.

Welcome to Fat Land. Where the fries are extra large, the sodas are jumbo size and the jeans are 'baggy fit'. How did America get so fat - so fast? And are we going the same way?

Greg Critser's brilliant exposé of how the land of the free became the land of the super fat has caused a sensation in the States. Fat Land reveals why America is now the fattest nation on the planet (apart from a few South Seas Islanders), with sixty per cent of its population overweight; how cheap fats and sugars introduced into diets in the 70s helped make the calories stick; how ruthless marketing by fast-food companies ensured that portions (and waistlines) kept on growing; and how every aspect of American life - class, politics, TV, family - contributed to the supersizing of a nation.

Disarmingly funny about every diet fad, Critser casts his critical eye over the lies people have been telling themselves about how much they eat and how little they exercise, and shows, frighteningly, how children are the chief victims of a Fat America.

Fat Land will make you think hard about the cost in human lives of America's obesity explosion. And it will make you think twice before slumping on the sofa and ordering that giant extra-value pizza combo. The butt stops here ...
