from Part III - The Hypermodern Contradictory Relationship with Food
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2022
This chapter attempts to answer some specific questions: Which is the cause of obesity? How does it relate to body image? How does obesity impact on personal identity? How does the situation vary according to gender? How does this condition vary in relation to age range? How does the family dynamic affect this condition? During this excursus many other interesting facts emerge, such as the statistic that only 10% of obese or overweight people are actually dieting, whereas nearly 20% of the rest of the population are trying to lose weight, even if they do not really need to. It is one of the paradoxes of the current era and one that affects mainly industrialized countries. Specific theories, scientific studies, and clinical examples are presented.
