"Supersizing Urban America reveals the little-known story of how the U.S. government
got into the business of encouraging fast food in inner cities, with unforeseen consequences
we are only beginning to understand. Chin Jou begins her story in the late 1960s,
when predominantly African-American neighborhoods went from having no fast food chain
restaurants to being littered with them. She uncovers the federal policies that have
helped to subsidize that expansion, including loan guarantees to fast food franchisees,
programs intended to promote minority entrepreneurship, and urban revitalization initiatives.
During this time, fast food companies also began to relentlessly market to urban African-American
consumers. In the first book about the U.S. government's problematic role in promoting
fast food in inner-city America, Jou tells a riveting story of the food industry,
obesity, and race relations in America that is essential to understanding health and
obesity in contemporary urban America"--Provided by publisher
