- From the page: "Gina Kolata says losing weight is nearly impossible. Brian Wansink says itâ€s easy. But they donâ€t really contradict each other, because theyâ€re talking about different kinds of weight loss.
Although their new books offer very different messages for dieters, Kolata and Wansink share a suspicion of collectivist responses to the â€oeobesity epidemic.” Both writers are intensely interested in the question of why people weigh as much as they do, but they do not leap from research findings to policy prescriptions aimed at making us thinner by restricting our choices. At a time when almost every discussion of weight in America seems to end with a list of things the government should do about it, their restraint is commendable. "
