Diet and Obesity

44 pp. | Sea to Sea | January, 2010 | Library ISBN 978-1-59771-200-2 $34.25
(4) YA World Today series. Short paragraphs, charts, captioned photos, and text boxes present information about rates of obesity worldwide. Each double-page spread briefly addresses one subtopic, ranging from a definition of obesity to possible genetic components, though the overall message is to eat less and exercise more. The busy design is confusing (as are some charts), but the book could serve as stimulus for further exploration. Websites. Glos., ind.
