Böcker av Mike Gibney

Traces the story of food from the early hunter-gatherers, discovering the origins of commonplace foods.

In Ever Seen a Fat Fox?: Human Obesity Explored Professor Mike Gibney traces the evolution of our modern diet and looks to science to offer solutions to the phenomenon of human obesity. He calls on governments to cease the single-issue ad-hoc approach and demands a massive governmental long-term investment in weight management.

Deals with the topics of organic food, GM foods, obesity, growing old, the integrity of food research, global warming, global malnutrition, consumer perception of food-borne risk, our gut bacteria, and how nutrition during pregnancy primes us for health in later life. The author also provides examples, reports and stories from many countries.
