The Truth About Fat by Anthony Warner – Book club
‘Angry chef’ Anthony Warner wants you to understand why people really get fat and how society tricks us into blaming each other
In this month’s book club podcast, Anthony Warner – ‘The Angry Chef’ behind the popular blog of the same name that then spawned a book – tackles the enormous problem of obesity and how our perception about it may be the key to minimising the problem. A veteran of the food industry, Warner introduces us to some intriguing and thought-provoking ideas about where obesity comes from and its causes, claiming that there’s much more to it than addressing issues with willpower and doing plenty of exercise. In Warner’s mind, shaming fat people is at the heart of the problem, directing us away from the real issues that we should be paying more attention to.
