Critser's sharp-eyed reportage and sharp-tongued analysis make for a disarmingly funny and truly alarming book. Critser investigates the many factors of American life -- from supersize to Super Mario, from high-fructose..more

When this book first came out in 2003, it was an eye-opener, and I can see why. Critser traces the roots of how so many Americans became so obese, and it's a complicated maze of changing diet fads, changing child-rearing ideas, fast food conniving, school lunch deterioration, families who don't have time to sit down to a meal or who eat out all the time, the invention of high-fructose corn syrup, food politics, a bit of genetics, and more. I have to admit, I'm one of the obese, though I've been..more

There were some good points made in this book about the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States. I enjoyed the first half of the book more so than the second half. The first half discussed the history of our food supply and key players in this history, plus a lot about how child rearing changed during the last generation. This book states the obvious many times but at the beginning of the book, I was still intrigued enough to keep reading.

Want to know why America is fat? This book will tell you. Since I have read this book, I have eaten McDonald's once in the last year or so (and that was because I was drunk). Very interesting to see how much the country has changed in 60 years since the war. The book starts there, how with budget cuts to the P.E. department and importing cheap (and very fattening) substitutes for homegrown goods can really cause a whole nation to pack on the pounds.
Well written book. The author writes about several reasons that have brought Americans to the obesity crisis that we face - from politics to school food programs to the way society views fatness throughout the past 30 years. He cites many studies, gives examples of programs that are work and why. I felt guilty for being sedentary while reading the book:-)

I read this many years ago, and have been telling people about it ever since because it's amazing how many people don't know why America had an epidemic of obesity first. Ten years ago, everyone in Europe was laughing at fat Americans, blaming the epidemic on their super-sized portions and assuming lazy people just ate too much fast food. Now the same thing is happening, firstly in the UK and now in the rest of Europe. Many people are mystified. The answer has been around for years, but the focu..more

I don't understand where I got on this kick with these industry-expose books, I seem to find them utterly fascinating, even if they're about something I already know. I guess it's the exact why and how and history of what we all know to be true that holds the draw for me. I already knew the funeral industry was a scam, but seeing exactly how the ruse is perpertuated in Mitfords' 'The American Way Of Death' kept me chewing until the very last page.

Book lives up to its title, using current stats, empirical data, and lucid explanation as to why America is so massive. Similar to Fast Food Nation, and Spurlock's Supersize Me in intent, Fatland is broader in investigation than the former, less visceral than the latter, and the result is an even-handed account that examines the multiple, often over-lapping factors, many of them political, feeding the fat epidemic.

This book has total false advertising. On the back, it says that 'reading this book will take ten pounds right off of you', or something like that. (I probably shouldn't use quotes if I don't actually want to get up off the couch and get the real quote, huh?)
I read this book slowly, over at least a couple months. During that time, I gained at LEAST ten pounds. Yes, I am pregnant. But whatever. I was hoping the book had magic powers that would at least keep me even on the scale.

Ok, I let this book linger for far too long, partially because of busy times at work. However, everytime I picked it up, I couldn't put it back down. Sure, a lot of the information in this book has been covered in other more popular books and films ('Fast Food Nation,' 'Super Size Me,' etc.) but this is the first book that really looks at how all the external influences overlap.

In Fatland, Crister traces America's obesity epidemic to Richard Nixon. Earl Butz, Nixon’s secretary of Agriculture initiated a new free trade policy to reverse declining farm incomes and rising consumer prices. The policy change coincided with Japan pioneering high fructose corn syrup and Malaysia making palm oil commercially viable. These three ingredients made Americans fat.

Greg Critser’s Fat Land was an informative novel, but lacked creativity and excitement to keep the reader focused and interested. The novel was all about the growth of obesity as an epidemic in the United States. There were some interesting focuses that the book addressed. However, it was boring to read because there were a plethora of statistics and historical references rather than in depth commentary and opinions about the issue.

Much of the information in this books was redundant and repeated in slightly different form in each chapter. The chapters were far too long, which is how you cram 7 chapters in to over 100 pages, and yet despite being comparatively short the writing is dry and took me a while to plod through. This book is also very left biased (please, nanny government, fix the fat people for me!) and very anti-fat biased despite ample research that it is the sugar and refined grains in our diet, not naturally o..more

I read this after 'Fast Food Nation' and it's a great companion piece. I learned things I hadn't known about how US foreign policy under Nixon is responsible for two common ingredients in the American diet: hydrogenated palm oil and high fructose corn syrup. I love learning about history that took place during my childhood that I was unaware of, like astonishing inflation in the price of food in the 70s. Who knew?

This interesting and well-written book does more than the usual, 'Fast food is evil' ranting. Critser says hard things about fast food and the processing of it, but this book is most interesting and valuable for the other reasons he discusses (with an amazing number of footnotes) for the putting and keeping on of American poundage.

The idea of the book was great; explore all of the myriad reasons why Americans have become morbidly obese as a whole and possibly what could be done to prevent this from further damaging future generations. By the time that I got about 100 pages into it the only aspects of the issue that the book had covered were advertising, advertising in schools and school funding. I kept picking the book up and then putting it back down after about five pages when I finally decided to give it up and mail it..more

Good read on how the Standard American Diet has changed with the influence of Agriculture, political interest, generational upbringing, and technology. At first, it was very difficult for me to get into this book because, to me, it was just a lot of fact reading. One of the chapters really hit my interest and then I could not put the book down. With that being said, I think I will re-read in the future.
It'll get you looking at labels if you aren't already, not to mention you'll never look at fast food the same again--a real eye opener..
This book changed my life!
The thing I liked about this book was the author examined the issue on its own terms without revealing any agenda other than concern for the shocking fact that most Americans are now overweight or obese and this is associated with a whole raft of negative health outcomes for the individuals in question. For example, in what could be interpreted as a shot at the pro-business right, he reveals how big processed food companies maximize their profits by doing things to food that make it much higher..more

I read this book and also watched the documentary Supersize Me! Oh my gosh, I have never been more motivated to give up bad habits than I have after finishing both! I am swearing off fast food, have been motivated to increase my activity level and am angry at what has happened to this country in just a few short decades. We have been fooled and brainwashed people! I am blown away at how it could happen and how it continues to happen. Both the documentary and this book were produced almost 16 yea..more

I thought this included a lot of good historical information showing what things contributed to rise of obesity in the United States. I was especially interested in the rise of convenience foods and eating away from home, which contributed/s to a much higher overall calorie intake. I was also surprised that snacking is a relatively new thing, as it's so commonplace today.

The idea wasn't bad but I think there's more to the obesity epidemic than what he suggests. For example we all know that to be healthy we need to exercise and eat less, but why don't we do it? Addiction to fatty foods, self-destructive behavior, etc. but these aren't mentioned. And he fat shames quite a bit with very little focused on a solution (other than for school kids).
Book has a lot of historical information of how political / economic changes under Earl Butz affected our diet, mostly to the negative. Author does a good job of highlighting the many inputs to the obesity problem we now face in the US.

The book was alright but got a bit boring at times. What the author says is that, ultimately, being fat is very bad for you no matter your age. The book is loaded with facts to support that claim, but since the book was published in the late 90’s, some of the facts are out dated.
Some interesting history about the food industry but in some sections does have a bit of a fat shamey vibe
Awesome

It's a very good read and I think that everyone in America should have to read this book. It was a little hard to start reading in the beginning but it is very enlightening.
Fascinating examination of the role class plays in America's obesity epidemic and the attendant epidemics of Diabetes 2 etc.

As a 10th grade philomath, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of information found in Fat Land. The amount of information in this book is on-par with the amount found in textbooks, which unfortunately made it hard to read for long periods of time. Therefore, this book appealed to me in a logical way, not in an emotional way. As its name and cover states, Fat Land is all about how Americans (in the U.S.) became the fattest people in the world. Greg Critser provides a thorough history about..more
