Weight of the Nation Season 1

Three years in the making, The Weight of the Nation brings together the country's leading research institutions in a national initiative to help shed light on solutions to restore our individual and collective health. The centrepiece of The Weight of the Nation is the 4-part documentary series that features case studies and interviews with experts as well as individuals and families struggling with obesity. Each part focuses on a particular issue: "Consequences," examines the scope of the obesity epidemic and the serious health consequences of being overweight or obese; "Choices," reveals the science behind obesity and weight loss; "Children in Crisis," documents the impact the epidemic is having on the nation's children; and "Challenges," examines the major forces behind the obesity epidemic.
Parts 5 to 16 are a collection of 12 films ranging in length from 11 to 30minutes each part focuses on a particular issue.



15) Healthy Foods and Obesity Prevention
While Americans should be eating significantly more fruits and vegetables, they are often hard to come by. This film examines the difficulties involved in increasing access to healthy, affordable fruits and vegetables and showcases successful stories. It follows the Practical Farmers of Iowa, a group of fruit and vegetable farmers who explain the challenges they face; agriculture experts David Wallinga and John Ikerd also provide insights. The film also highlights Dr. Preston Maring, who pioneered the nation's first hospital-based farmers market, Texas comptroller Susan Combs and supermarket owner David Ball, who are all using bold and innovative strategies to increase access to healthy foods.
