Kerry Segrave
A leading public health problem for Americans, obesity is a regular topic for nightly news programs, scientific or medical study, and intense public debate. This study takes a look at obesity in America, concentrating not on the condition as it exists now, but rather on how the condition was viewed, studied, and treated from 1850 to 1939.
