Obesity: The Killer at Large

Cindy sent me this YouTube link about a new documentary coming out about how bad the obesity rate in America is getting. According to the Deseret News:

"Filmmaker Steven Greenstreet wants the film to make a difference.

"We wanted this film to be a work of activism," Greenstreet said, activism that he hopes starts with the audience.

"The power lies with you," Greenstreet said.

The film shows various causes of obesity, from emotional eating, eating in response to stress or fear, marketing to children, unavailability of nutritious foods for the poor, government policy as it pertains to farm subsidies and lobbyists, and others."



What is it worth to make sure you and your loved ones are not part of the statistic?
