Title: With the Fat Went Our Memory
Review: Well, the future of journalism is here. The author walks in to take a bow for having figured out a puzzle he made for himself. What he doesn't mention, and most of us are so unconscious, we don't know, is that there is nothing new here. Author's guide: find someone to blame, and make lists, short ones. Oh supersizing is an important contributor? You're kidding! I have read at least 10 articles about that in everything from Nutrition Action to searing journalistic tracts like Self.What is done here, that wasn't done in those pieces, is the story has been reduced to cartoon, complete with a villain (Earl Butz). And as the New York Times review points out: the irony is that after playing the conspiracy card, the ending makes a plea for a simple solution: the fat people need to eat less. Wonder if the publishers got to the author or if the need to conclude just elicited this saccharin bromide.
