Fat: What No One Is Telling You

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 are full? This program 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.

ooo excellent!

Sounds really interesting, thanks for pointing out!

BTW, the PBS website for this program has lots of good info about exercise and weight managment, etc

Thanks! I heard about it and then completely forgot it. I'll check my schedule and put a sticky on my tv

And would that also be on GEORGIA PBS???

Here's hoping! Because it sounds very interesting! (I love learning why I'm fat!)

Hey Charlotte, could you remind us if you think about it? I tried to TIVO it but its not listed yet and I know I'll forget. TY!

Yay, my comcast listed it. DVR set!

It isn't listed for me yet either! But, I (or someone else because I can be forgetful ) will bump this thread when the date gets closer........

Thanks for the tip! I just TIVO'd it.
