ABSTRACT
Here’s the chapter that many of you have been waiting for: the chapter on overeating and obesity. Or perhaps you didn’t wait. Perhaps you just went straight to this chapter without reading any of the preceding ones-despite their providing much information that would be helpful to you in understanding what’s to come next! But prepared or not, here you are, and I’ll do my best to explain to you what scientists know about food consumption so excessive that it’s considered abnormal (overeating) and about body weight that’s significantly greater than average (obesity).
