       fat bodies. 
520    "According to public health officials, obesity poses 
       significant health risks and has become a modern-day 
       epidemic. A closer look at this so-called epidemic, 
       however, suggests that there are multiple perspectives on 
       the fat body, not all of which view obesity as a health 
       hazard. Alongside public health officials at the Centers 
       for Disease Control and Prevention are advertisers of the 
       fashion-beauty complex, food industry advocates at the 
       Center for Consumer Freedom, and activists at the National
       Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. Framing Fat takes a
       bird's-eye view of how these multiple actors construct the
       fat body by identifying the messages these groups put 
       forth, particularly where issues of beauty, health, choice
       and responsibility, and social justice are concerned. 
       Samantha Kwan and Jennifer Graves examine how laypersons 
       respond to these conflicting messages and illustrate the 
       gendered, raced, and classed implications within them. In 
       doing so, they shed light on how dominant ideas about body
       fat have led to the moral indictment of body 
       nonconformists, essentially 'framing' them for their fat 
       bodies."--Publisher's website.
