Food as ***Fuel***: Learning to Ignore Food Marketing

In his recent book The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite, former US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler set out to explore the causes and effects of binge eating on the ever expanding American Waistline. Through his research, Kessler concludes that overeating is not caused by the usual suspects: lack of willpower or lack of motivation to eat healthy foods. Instead, he argues, overeating is the direct and desired result of a food industry that manufactures and markets items that have excessive calories and are loaded with fat, sugar and salt. These ingredients, found in popular foods such as ice cream, french fries, and chicken wings, are combined with glossy advertising campaigns to create an overload of stimulation in the human brain, thus making it impossible for most people to resist ‘trigger’ foods. The result is a tendency to develop addictive behavior towards food. In essence, many people abuse unhealthy foods the same way addicts abuse drugs.

Cómo cebar a la población/Alimentos para cebar a la población


Explanation:
Creo que este es más bien el sentido, leyendo lo que sigue.

"To fuel" también es cebar, abastecer etc. y creo que el título ha de ser más bien negativo.

Una opinión :)

Saludos y suerte

Me parece que es esto lo que el libro pretende enseñar.

"¿Nos han enseñado a alimentarnos? Esta era la pregunta que lanzaba al aire Cristina
Galiano, farmacéutica y escritora especialista en temas de nutrición, durante su charla en el
Colegio de Farmacéuticos de Ciudad Real sobre si “¿Sabemos alimentarnos correctamente?”."
