...shake-up of the German beer industry in the 1980s that inspired Bionade's inventor, Dieter Leipold, then master brewer at Ostheim's Privatbrauerei Peter, to quest for a new quaff. With younger German consumers increasingly choosing imports like Corona and Miller Lite over local beers, Leipold worried about the brewery's future. And there was more at stake than just business: it was family. He lived with the brewery's present owner, Sigrid Peter, now his wife, and acted as stepfather to her sons, Peter and Stephan Kowalsky...

Felix lives with his father but spends most weekends and holidays with his mother...
...that set point. Given less food than it's used to and responding to a drop in leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells, the body clicks into survival mode, slowing metabolism to save energy and triggering cravings for high-kilojoule foods. Now what may be looming for the dieter is months or years of fluctuating weight, possible use of potentially dangerous weight-loss pills, a heightened risk of binge eating and other eating disorders, feelings of failure and social withdrawal-factors that may partially explain the premature deaths of a proportion of obese people...
