Description
ABSTRACT The dramatic increase in obese and overweight Americans over the last two decades has produced enormous scholarly interest. New theories as to the causes, medical consequences, and legal implications of obesity abound. Despite this increase in obesity scholarship, medical, legal, and social science understandings of this topic largely remain segregated by field. This article attempts to accomplish an intersectional analysis of a discrete portion of recent scholarship in an effort to reveal otherwise indiscernible causes and consequences of obesity.
