520    This book investigates the controversial claim by welfare 
       critics that public assistance programs like the Food 
       Stamp and National School Lunch programs contribute to 
       obesity among the poor. The author synthesizes empirical 
       evidence from an array of disciplines--anthropology, 
       economics, epidemiology, marketing, medicine, nutrition 
       science, psychology, public health, sociology, and urban 
       planning--to test this claim and to test whether other 
       causal processes are at work. --from publisher's 
       description.
