Fat Land

Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World is a nonfiction book by Greg Critser describing how 60% of Americans came to be overweight, and exploring the relationship between the relentless rise of fast food corporations and increasing sizes in the American diet, along with misguided government policies and poor nutritional education in schools. Critser also describes specific health risks linked to obesity and a fast food-rich diet. The book covers some of the same subject matter as Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation is a process that rearranges the fatty acids of a fat product, typically a mixture of triglyceride. The process implies breaking and reforming the ester bonds C–O–C that connect the fatty acid chains to the glycerol hubs of the fat molecules. These reactions are performed by inorganic catalysts, yielding what is called chemical interesterification in the industry; or by enzymes, in the so-called enzymatic interesterification in April 2013, but a November 2014 review thought little of the cuisine.
