In The Happiest Diet in the World, Giulia takes us to the culinary heart of these long-lived communities.

He continued to pile on the pounds when he entered the world of politics as MP for West Bromwich East (despite short-lived flirtations with fad diets and fitness classes). By December 2014, his bathroom scales had tipped to 22 stone.
