Preface The pandemic of Obesity has spread its deadly tentacles all over the world. Formerly thought to be a "blessing' of plenty, prosperity and a rich life-style, it has now become a deadly curse of modernity. Therefore, I have designed this book as a gift to the products of modern civilization, who are the unwitting victims of the wily propa- ganda of food-manufacturing conglomerates and big pharmaceutical companies that are making huge piles of money by turning people into the obese cartoons and caricatures of really healthy and handsome human beings. The costs of Obesity in terms of its being a health hazard and the tremendous financial burden it imposes on the global economies are mind-boggling.
