A Big Fat Documentary..
 

Is anyone watching this on the discovery health channel? I ran across in on accident and it is pretty interesting.

I saw that, it was fascinating! It will be on again Aug 13 at 4pm and Aug 15 at 4am.

I'm curious, what is it about?

This slightly overweight british woman, who is very likeable, goes to LA to find out about American obesity and how how thin people relate to fat people, etc. It covers a lot of different topics, like fast food, childhood obesity and why people are fat. She even goes to a Richard Simmon's workout class. It is funny and insightful.

I watched! She was pretty funny. I enjoyed the part with Richard Simmons because I do his videos from time to time and they really are a workout.

I loved when she was standing on the street in LA. Every direction she turned there was yet another Fast Food restaurant. She mentioned that when you come home from work and are hot and tired it would be so easy to be seduced into going thru the drive-thru. It takes a lot more determination to go the supermarket and buy healthy foods that you have to then drag home and then cook. If only there were as many "Healthy Foods" restaurants as there are junk food restaurants. --Pook

P.S. I had to laugh when she was driving around in a gigantic Hummer and refering to it as a "typical" American car ! It is so rare to see a Hummer on the road.
