Social Justice And The Urban Obesity Crisis Implications For Social Work

About this book

Melvin Delgado focuses on urban obesity in populations of colour, dissecting the issue from individual, family, group, community, and policy perspectives. After syrveying the history of urban obesity, anti-obesity policies and programs, and the role of social work in addressing this threat, Delgado moves through social, ecological, environmental, and spatial aggravators, such as the food industry's nefarious advertising strategies.
