Are you sure that obese people are fat only because they eat too much? The sleeve is not the miracle operation that they want us to swallow. Caroline Idoux dismantles the clichés and preconceived ideas about obesity and offers us to approach obesity in society from another point of view: that of fat people. Journalist and writer, Caroline IDOUX has been working for several years to bring another perspective to overweight people. Passionate about literature and communication, she addresses all aspects of obesity with great ease and frankness.
