Title: Did he copy Mike Fumento or what??
Review: Hm, shall we compare titles?"Fat Land : How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World" versus "The Fat of the Land: The Obesity Epidemic and How Overweight Americans Can Help Themselves"Of course the science in Crister's book is a bit more up to date than in Fumento's, but the message is the same...Americans eat too much sugar and fat, and calories in general. The only thing is, back in 1997 when the Fumento book was released, people didn't want to hear that. Now, in the aftermath of "Fast Food Nation" and the McDonald's lawsuit (more to come I'm sure), Crister (or his publishers) have decided the time is right for this book...Not nearly as interesting a read as Fumento's, I was only able to read "Fat Land" once - I'd recommend this as a library checkout book only...now "Fat of the Land" by Michael Fumento - THAT's a keeper!I must admit that way way back in the "notes" section, Crister does give an eensy weensy credit to the Fumento book...
