Fat City Sorts fact from fiction in the struggle for weight loss. Booklist More than two-thirds of Americans are considered overweight. Roger Bingham takes viewers to the Pima Indian Reservation in Arizona.
Obesity runs rampant among the Pimas, resulting in an epidemic of diabetes and hypertension.
FAT CITY also investigates other genetic and environmental factors that may account for expanding waistlines, including metabolic rate, diet, exercise, and the brain's biochemistry. See FAT CITY for a scientific, yet light-hearted and compassionate understanding of obesity. An informed and enlightening resource for science and health classes. The video is educational rather than persuasive in nature. Very highly recommended.
