In The Fattening of America, renowned health economist Eric Finkelstein, along with business writer Laurie Zuckerman, reveal how the U.S. economy has become the driving force behind our expanding waistlines. Blending theory, research, and engaging personal anecdotes the authors discuss how declining food costs―especially for high-calorie, low-nutrient foods―and an increasing usage of technology, which make Americans more sedentary, has essentially led us to eat more calories than we burn off.

Nine Lives offers a candid look into the hearts and minds of nine extraordinary women business owners from around the country. 
There is Judy Rosenberg who, on a perpetual diet, grew up with a gnawing, aching sense of deprivation. The cookies she coveted, the cakes she savored—all seemed just out of reach. So what did Judy do when she grew up? She started a chain of bakeries driven by her pure appreciation for that which is self-indulgent and beautiful. 
And there is Rebecca Boenigk, the CEO of the only woman-owned business ever to trade on NASDAQ who found that the quarterly numbers "dance" wasn’t to her liking and bought her company back from the public market. 
"The stories the women told were awe inspiring, funny, mind boggling . . . and sometimes painful," Cantando wrote in the preface. "There were tough moments when the women opened up about still-raw details of their past … Yet, time and again, these brave women said that they were willing to swallow their discomfort if other women could learn from or be inspired by their struggles."
