'I'm not overweight, I'm just big boned' fact or fiction? With so many myths flying around about obesity, it is important to know more about this modern day epidemic and how to start tackling the dangers of being overweight.

The information inside comes from a variety of sources, including newspapers, magazines, government reports and charity groups; providing different perspectives on challenging topics. At the end of each chapter is a selection of activities, designed to encourage interaction, literacy and critical thinking.
