Summary of The End of Overeating

The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite is a book by David A. Kessler, the former head of the US Food and Drug Administration. In the book, Kessler examines the science behind why people overeat and how the food industry manipulates the American diet. He argues that overeating is a result of the food industry’s engineering of food to be irresistible, and proves that it is possible to break the pattern of overeating by understanding the science behind why we eat. Kessler outlines steps to take to regain control over our eating habits and change our relationship with food.
