Fat and Poor - Salon reviews a new book called Fat Land that investigates why we're so damn tubby as a society. I gather that the argument the book is making is that only in a country as affluent as ours can people afford to dine out at restaunts as often as Americans do. However, in turn, rich Americans and poor Americans eat at different kinds of restaurants. While poor Americans are eating supersized extra value meals, the rich are flocking to trendy raw food eateries like Roxanne's. While the poor are watching TV and toiling away at minimum wage jobs, the rich are doing cardio with their personal trainers. I'm sure I'm oversimplifying, so I'm interested to read the actual text. Plus, it's hard to pass up the irresistable cute image of a pudgy baby surrounded by food on its cover.
