Go beyond the promises of this week's best-selling diet book
to explore the many psychological, physiological and environmental
factors that can make losing weight so difficult.
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.
