North America is experiencing an epidemic of obesity. In the past twenty years the number of obese North Americans has tripled, making us a nation of the heaviest people in the history of civilization. Since the arrival of the flapper style in the 1920's, women in particular have become the principal target of the weight loss propaganda machine. Slimness, synonymous with perfection and efficiency, has become an obsession amongst women. The diet industry has played havoc with the low self-esteem of many women and, as a result, has produced a slew of bizarre devices and unscrupulous weight loss theories for profit. Ironically, as 95% of people fail at diets, the real winner of the diet wars is the diet industry itself. <48mn>
