This book illustrates the multiple ways 'the body' both impacts culture and is simultaneously and seamlessly positioned and shaped by it, maintaining social reproduction of class and cultural hierarchies and social regulation and control. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport, Education and Society.

Eating less, exercising more and losing weight seem the obvious solution for the oncoming 'obesity epidemic'. This book investigates how 'body centred talk' about weight, fat, food and exercise is recycled in schools, enters educational processes, and impacts on the identities and health of young people.
