Review
"It is remarkable that a book as excellent as The Hungry Gene can be contained in such a siender volume. ... [Shell] examines the history of obesity and suggests what can be done to control it. ... As Shell points out, the obesity pandemic didn't begin the day McDonald's started selling fries."
