The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite. By David A. Kessler. Rodale Books, 336 pp., $25.95.
David Kessler, M.D., describes what's been happening to the American diet over the past several decades, and lays much of the blame for overeating and obesity on the food industry. The industry has learned what it is that humans like and will come back for more of- food larded with inordinate amounts of fat, sugar and salt. Kessler argues that food marketing needs to be monitored and regulated, and he would like to see comprehensive labeling on all packaged foods and calorie counts on all menus in restaurants.
