Stanley Ulijaszek Bücher

Exploring the intersection of media and health, this book examines how obesity and eating disorders are portrayed across various platforms, including print, online, and television. It delves into the connections between these representations and investigates the criteria news media use to highlight specific scientific findings and policy decisions. Through a multi-disciplinary lens, it offers critical insights into the societal implications of media framing on public perception and understanding of these health issues.

Written for a general audience who are interested in or are concerned about body weight, fatness, or obesity, either personally or professionally. It unpacks the complexity of obesity, and why it has proven impossible to fix, using perspectives from biology, social science, public policy, medicine and public health.
