Hypothetical "The
Fat Australia: Who's to Blame?"
Australians
are getting fatter and there is no sign of slowing down. Do
you have your favourite
culprit for the podgification
of Australia. The telly? Fast foods? Computer games? School
PE programs? The two car family? Or could your mower man and
cleaning lady be conspiring to make us fatter by taking away
our regular chores? Maybe the social dynamics of the western
world will reverse when being overweight is the norm! Should
we really care or is it easier just to run a weight loss club
and count the money?
Using a lively and entertaining format, Glenn Cardwell will
engage a panel of politicians, lawyers, experts on nutrition
and exercise, and members of
the food and fast food industries to explore the factors that have lead to
our current "fat" crisis. Who are the real culprits? What are the solutions? Debate: "What
is the most effective exercise regime for good health?"
