Fat: What No One is Telling You.
|
Aired on WGTE TV Wednesday, April 11
Open abuse of fat people is our last accepted prejudice. As the number of obese Americans climbs to frightening levels, the quest for answers is becoming even more urgent. Obesity experts have a growing and sobering awareness of the complex human puzzle that is driving this epidemic and creating so much personal pain in a society that worships "thin." Is it genes? Is it metabolism? Is it stress, evolution or the lack of willpower? Why can't the brain control hunger? What drives us to keep eating when we know we're full? FAT: WHAT NO ONE IS TELLING YOU gives viewers a window into the intense human dramas that rage inside people who have been labeled obese and the difficulty of solving their weight problem.
