Culture matters in the obesity debate

Today, professors Brownell and Campos look at how culture and class affect the debate over obesity. Yesterday, they discussed the biggest obesity myths; Wednesday it was the best public policies for reducing national weight; Tuesday, it was the government's rationale for intervening on the issue, and on Monday, they attempted to define the parameters of the problem. Saturday, they'll end with a discussion about the cultural components of the debate.
