Obesity in America has reached a crisis point. Two out of every three Americans are overweight, one out of every three is obese. One in three are expected to have diabetes by 2050. Minorities have been even more profoundly affected. African-Americans have a 50 per cent higher prevalence of obesity and Hispanics 25 per cent higher when compared with whites. How did the situation get so out of hand? On this week’s episode of Fault Lines, Josh Rushing explores the world of cheap food for Americans living at the margins. What opportunities do people have to eat healthy? Who is responsible for food deserts and processed food in American schools? Fault Lines finds food revolutions taking place and speaks with the people that are fighting back. People featured in this film: Marion Nestle, Marlene Schwartz, John Bode, Nelson Eusebio, J.

In 2011 I was 248. In 1 month I lost 20 lbs. today I’m at 170 right where I wanted to be. this is what i used. try it, and you’ll thank me. here is the link if your interested.>> tinyurl(dot)com/cbeayf4
The two leading causes of obesity in America is fast food, and technology. Mostly because with technology, exercise becomes an option. I am really interested in this topic. I believe the government can only do so much to change the habits of Americans, but it all comes down to the choice you make, and how you choose to live your life. I come from one of the countries fattest cities, so I know how hard it is to make the right choice.
is it vain that i watch these videos becuase it keeps me eating healthy and slim lol
that food looks so good !!!!
money
they want them to be fat,they want them to feel bad about themselves.That’s the point.But why the government is doing it.I have no idea
These kind of videos make me feel good that i’m slim and muscular.
So thats why i am hearing all kind of storys from around the world about americans having too many fat problems :/ But seriously that food system America has now is just well stupid :/
And apparently they are there to protect, because terrorists are such a threat to us.Pftt cunts
Loads of obesity related documentaries but no movements by governments what a shame
that is true – but for many obese people, they put themselves in that position at such an early age, where they couldn’t have known that it would affect them. Sure, we can change the eating habits of children so they don’t put themselves in that mental state, but we cannot do the same with adults. And am I wrong to say that the majority of the American population is made up of adults?
But, if we change habits of kids, then the next generation won’t be as bad as this one. Unless fat is genetic.
Congress?? Oh lady BLAME CONGRESS FOR YOUR POOR FOOD CHOICES!! Smh….
Bad food is cheep 0_o…
Many people are unbelievably lazy. I know people who refuse to take a ten minute walk to class from their room or walk across the street to the neighbors or even to their own mailbox. I’ve seen people drive for 5 minutes to fast food places. They don’t understand that taking a walk to the fast food place will help even a little.
The quickest way to get cancer is to eat “raw foods.” Don’t believe me? Think about how pesticides are applied and how often. There is NO amount of washing or scrubbing that can clean off the majority of the pesticides. Want to die quick? Eat a few apples a day.
Meanwhile in Africa……
Was the slushing noise in the beginning nessecary?
It’s called exercise. People are lazy are they decide to lift a burger then a pair of weights.
