Warren Peters has been an invaluable voice of tolerance and caring for the obese and overweight. He has demonstrated the ability to make complex research comprehensible and accessible, illuminating the challenge of obesity with an up-to-date focus on biological and environmental factors. John Thomas, PhD Dean and Bashir Hasso Professor of Entrepreneurship Tom and Vi Zapara School of Business There has been a long-running debate about how much people are a product of their genetics as opposed to their environment. Both are important, but as Dr. Peters points out, the environment in which we live has changed much too rapidly for our genes to adapt. If you believe that obesity is a result of sloth and gluttony, this book is a must read and will definitely broaden your horizons. Frank Greenway, MD Professor--Chief Medical Officer Pennington Biomedical Research Center
