Obesity

by Sylvia Engdahl

Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. It is essential that young people learn about this condition, and learn how to avoid being a victim of it. This essential volume presents several essays in a sequence of for-or-against viewpoints about obesity. Across four chapters, readers will evaluate if there is an epidemic, if it is a disease, whether society should actively combat obesity, and what is causing the rise in it.
