520    Harvard psychologist Barrett tackles the obesity and 
       fitness crisis from an evolutionary standpoint. In the 
       modern jungle of burgers, couches, and remote controls, 
       obesity is an enormous and growing epidemic. Weight-loss 
       books and diet gurus urge us to "listen to our bodies," 
       but our instincts are designed for the African savannah, 
       not food courts. The sugary and fatty foods that we, as 
       hunter-gatherers, are programmed to forage used to be hard
       to come by. Now they're as close as the vending machine 
       down the hall. Radical changes are necessary and, 
       fortunately, are biologically easier than small or gradual
       changes in diet. Barrett tells us how to reprogram our 
       bodies, break food addictions, and ignore our attraction 
       to "supernormal stimuli"--Artificial creations that appeal
       to our instincts more than the natural objects they mimic.
