What to do if i need a book about why fast food is not the cause of obesity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is one cause: Fast food is definitely one major contributor to obesity. The carbs and altered fats(high heat) both are bad for you. A great book that you can get information from is called - why we get fat, by gary taubes.
