This work focuses on the biopolitical use of lifestyle to govern individual choice and secure population health from the threat of obesity. The characterization of obesity as a threat to society caused by the cumulative effect of individual lifestyles has led to the politicization of daily choices, habits and practices as potential threats.

This book uses current debates over Michel Foucault's method of genealogy as a practice of critique to reveal the historical constitution of contemporary alternative food discourses.
