As authors of "The New American Diet," Stephen Perrine and Heather Hurlock are among a growing number of health gurus who blame America's ballooning on "obesogenic" foods that masquerade as healthy. Fruits, chicken breasts, canned vegetables, milk and other seemingly wholesome foods, they claim, contain insidious "obesogenic" pesticides and plastics that alter hormones and cause our bodies to store more fat. Two "obesogens" that have gotten a lot of attention lately are the ubiquitous chemicals phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA).
