INSATIABLE describes, using official NIH data, peer-reviewed scientific literature, and numerous interviews, the growing prevalence of obesity and all of its secondary diseases, which has led to a yearly healthcare expenditure exceeding $3.2 trillion dollars per year; this amount is driving the US healthcare financial system to the brink of insolvency. "INSATIABLE" explores how the health care and dieting industries consistently failed to avert the declining health of the population. It paradoxically advances that weight loss diets are only 3% effective, but remain, nonetheless, the primary therapeutic modality recommended by doctors and dietitians. INSATIABLE, identifies the obesity epidemic as a symptom of a much deeper social malaise that is sweeping our nation, and spawning other epidemics such as depression, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), drug and child abuse. The book demonstrates that at the center of this disorder-the source of the social and medical upheavals that are now changing the fabric of American society-is the breakdown of the American family. INSATIABLE examines the cause of this social upheaval and proposes a radically new way of living.
