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 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.
