Makers e la sfida dell’obesità
Starting from Dory Doctorow’s novel “Makers: A Novel of the Whirlwind Changes to Come”, the article tackles the theme of obesity. Drawing from the vicissitudes of one of the protagonists of the novel, it points out the cultural and economic roots of this social and medical problem. Building from it, the article asks for possible solutions. Slow Food’s principles of good, fair and clean are already a viable response; however, the article argues that a solution to obesity passes through strategies aimed at making good, fair and clean food economically available to a vaster public.
