Thank you, BA, I enjoyed watching that.

Did you catch what that British Weight Watchers female rep. said, back in the 60's?:
"When it comes to eating, fat people are basically stupid."

She would've lost her job if she said that today...lol.

Yes ... So politically incorrect...Wasn't that Amazing?

What the current Weight Watchers female rep said ... also gave me pause.
Essentially it was that ... okay, perhaps WW might not be very effective .. .
but what is the alternative...? .

"would you have us do NOTHING"..?

I feel the answer of those people who follow HAES "Health At Every Size" would be:

.... "Well.... Yes!
Without the pressure of negative messages about our bodies,
given to trick us into spending our money on empty promises,
we might be better able to accept the diversity of our natural body sizes
and allow ourselves the freedom to make healthy eating choices
that will sustain the bodies we've been given.

Thank you BrightAngel for the heads up on this documentary. I could not use the link but found the show on YouTube. It came at the exact time for me. My diet head was contemplating WW again for a quicker loss. This show set me straight again. I will no longer give my money or energy to these diet super businesses. My own body is so much smarter than these gurus. I must listen to it.

Thank you for finding this and posting it, Bright Angel. I was very curious and watching it confirmed a lot of my thoughts about dieting!

There was also a series by the BBC called "The Men Who Made Us Fat", looking at food marketing,...

Unfortunately, all links I can find are from illegal streaming services so I can't post them here but if you can somehow get hold of it - it is just as good as the new series.

eschano, I just watched that one in its entirety on youtube -- it's broken into about ten segments, but it's all there and totally legal! It was an eye-opener!

There's a USA link to watch the BBC 'made us Fat' series
at the bottom of this link to "The Men Who Made Us THIN"
Summer of 2013
http://www.diethobby.com/blog.php?ax=v&nid=888

It is my intention ...
once all 4 episodes of "The Men Who Made Us Thin" are posted on YouTube...
to also copy ALL 4 of them to the Link above.
That way we can easily watch them all at one place.

Here's a USA link directly to "The Men Who Made Us FAT"
Summer of 2012
http://www.diethobby.com/blog.php?ax=v&nid=889

BTW ... FYI
It is legal to COPY on your own website, ANY video that is posted on YouTube.
DietHobby is my own Personal Website.

The BBC ultimately posts all of their programs on YouTube as well,
and it seems to only object to "copyright violations" by independent video makers
AFTER they've posted their program on YouTube themselves.
