We live in a world of diet best-sellers and state-of-the-art gyms. Why, then, is obesity on the increase? This program explores a glaring paradox in North America’s food-obsessed culture—that our knowledge of nutrition has never been better, while our collective health has never been worse. Viewers will gain an understanding of what food means to us socially and psychologically, as well as how the media influence our eating habits. The program also examines organic foods, diabetes, and the value of vegetables, while a family of modest means is profiled in order to show the real-world challenges of healthy eating. TV chef Michael Bonacini, historian Harvey Levenstein, and FoodShare director Debbie Field add incisive commentary. (46 minutes)
