Why Geese Don't Get Obese (And We Do)

Audiobook

Imagine being able to consume 250,000 calories daily without gaining weight. If you had the metabolism of a shrew you could. And while most of us can't hold our breath for more than a few minutes, the Weddell seal can remain underwater for a full 75 minutes!

Why Geese Don't Get Obese discusses how humans and other creatures have evolved to gauge their need for food; gather water and oxygen; circulate blood; regulate body tempature and respond to stressful situations.

Peppy prose and just the right amount of detail make this audiobook a delight and a fitting ode to the remarkable resilience of nature.
