and, finally,
the biggest people.

8

America has now become
the fattest nation in the world.

9
00:01:46,453 --> 00:01:48,453
Congratulations.

10
00:01:48,454 --> 00:01:50,957
Nearly 100 million Americans
are today either overweight

11

or obese.

12
00:01:52,458 --> 00:01:55,461
That's more
than 60% of all U.S. adults.

13
00:01:55,462 --> 00:01:56,962
Since 1980,

14
00:01:56,963 --> 00:02:00,466
the total number of overweight
and obese Americans has doubled,

15
00:02:00,467 --> 00:02:02,467
with twice as many
overweight children

16
00:02:02,467 --> 00:02:04,971

The fattest state in America?

18
00:02:06,973 --> 00:02:10,977
Mississippi -- where one

19
00:02:10,978 --> 00:02:12,477
I grew up in west Virginia,

20
00:02:12,478 --> 00:02:15,480
currently the third-fattest
state in America.

21
00:02:15,481 --> 00:02:18,985
When I was growing up, my mother
cooked dinner every single day.

22
00:02:18,986 --> 00:02:21,988
Almost all my memories of her
are in the kitchen.

23

And we never ate out,

24
00:02:23,489 --> 00:02:25,992
only on those few, rare
special occasions.

25
00:02:25,993 --> 00:02:27,993
Today, families do it
all the time,

26

and they're paying for it --
not only with their wallets,

27
00:02:31,497 --> 00:02:32,999
but with their waistlines.

28
00:02:33,499 --> 00:02:35,500
Obesity is now
second only to smoking

29
00:02:35,501 --> 00:02:38,004
as a major cause
of preventable death in America,

30

with more
than 400,000 deaths per year

associated
with related illnesses.

32
00:02:42,508 --> 00:02:47,013
In 2002, a few Americans
got fed up with being overweight

33
00:02:47,014 --> 00:02:49,015
and did what we do best.

34

at the fast-food companies

36
00:02:53,019 --> 00:02:55,520
and blaming them
for their obesity and illnesses,

37
00:02:55,521 --> 00:02:58,524
a lawsuit was filed in New York
on behalf of two teenage girls,

38

4'10", and 170 pounds,

The unthinkable
had suddenly become reality.

41
00:03:12,538 --> 00:03:15,791
People were suing the golden
arches for selling them food

42
00:03:15,792 --> 00:03:19,045
that most of us know isn't
good for you to begin with

43

yet each day,
one in four Americans

44

visits a fast-food restaurant.

45

And this hunger for fast food
isn't just in America.

In the United States alone,

00:03:44,570 --> 00:03:47,823
McDonald’s accounts for 43 %
of the total fast-food market.

53

shopping malls,

amusement parts, even hospitals.

That's right -- hospitals.

At least you're close

58

Lawyers for McDonald's
called the suits "frivolous",

its food are universally known

60

that their weight problems

61

solely by their McDiets.

63
00:04:15,101 --> 00:04:17,602
that if lawyers
for the teens can show

64
00:04:17,603 --> 00:04:20,606

for people to eat its food

unreasonably dangerous,

and your cholesterol level,

178
00:08:50,843 --> 00:08:53,846
and if you have any he
art disease in the family --

179
00:08:53,847 --> 00:08:55,347
underlying heart disease --

180
00:08:55,348 --> 00:08:57,849
you're putting
your heart at risk.

181
00:08:57,850 --> 00:09:01,354
I expect to see an increase
in your triglycerides,

182
00:09:01,355 --> 00:09:03,355
because
that can be affected.

183
00:09:03,356 --> 00:09:06,359
You're at 87 now,
and I think that will change.

184
00:09:06,859 --> 00:09:08,861
I think that's the only thing
that will change.

185

186

Out of everything.

187
00:09:11,364 --> 00:09:13,866
There might be
some minor variations,

188
00:09:14,367 --> 00:09:16,369
but the body
is extremely adaptable,

189
00:09:16,869 --> 00:09:19,872
and the kidneys will handle
any extra salt you're taking in,

190
00:09:19,873 --> 00:09:22,875
and your liver will be able
to metabolize additional fats.

191
00:09:22,876 --> 00:09:26,878
As far as you gaining weight,
you probably will.

192
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:31,384
As far as your cholesterol
going up, it probably will.

193
00:09:31,385 --> 00:09:34,887
As far as you
feeling miserable, may be.

00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:40,393
Unless you start cheating
and just order the salads.

196
00:09:40,394 --> 00:09:42,895
I also went to a fancy
new York wellness center

197
00:09:42,896 --> 00:09:44,147
to meet a registered dietician

198
00:09:44,148 --> 00:09:45,398
who would help
track my progress.

199
00:09:45,898 --> 00:09:48,901
Okay, let's start with
getting your height and weight.

200
00:09:48,902 --> 00:09:50,402
I’m 6'2".

201
00:09:50,403 --> 00:09:52,904
I weight about 185.

202
00:09:52,905 --> 00:09:54,907
For your height,
this is a healthy weight.

203
00:09:54,908 --> 00:09:56,409
I can tell you that
right now.

204
00:09:56,909 --> 00:09:58,910
Your BMI,
which is the body mass index,

205
00:09:58,911 --> 00:10:01,414
is within normal limits,
which means you're not obese.

206
00:10:01,415 --> 00:10:03,415
You're actually
at the correct weight.

207
00:10:03,416 --> 00:10:06,419
So, I should keep a checklist
of the things that I eat

208
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:07,920
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

209
00:10:08,421 --> 00:10:09,922
Your calorie needs
are gonna be averaging

210
00:10:10,423 --> 00:10:12,424
about 2,500 calories a day.

211
00:10:12,425 --> 00:10:14,926
As far as fat goes,
for 2,500 calories,

212
00:10:14,927 --> 00:10:18,430
you're gonna want about
80 grams of total fat in a day.

213
00:10:18,431 --> 00:10:21,934
The saturated fat, which is
a component of total fat,

214
00:10:21,935 --> 00:10:24,437
you want to have
less than 25 grams a day.

215
00:10:24,438 --> 00:10:26,939
Don't try to overindulge
too much.

216
00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:28,440
Good luck, Morgan.

our exercise physiologist.

221
00:10:39,952 --> 00:10:42,455
We'll go through
the cardiovascular assessment,

222
00:10:42,456 --> 00:10:44,956
and then I'll be able
to calculate

223
00:10:44,957 --> 00:10:46,959
how much oxygen
your muscles can utilize,

224
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,460
and that's also an indicator

225
00:10:48,461 --> 00:10:51,464
of what type of condition your
cardiovascular system is in.

226
00:10:51,465 --> 00:10:54,467
All right, good work.

227
00:10:54,967 --> 00:10:57,470
I’m gonna use
these skinfold calipers

228
00:10:57,471 --> 00:10:59,472
to estimate
your body density.

You're 11% body fat.
that's great.

230

measure your flexibility

231

and your lower back.

234
00:11:10,734 --> 00:11:12,984
There's a basic
old-school test

235
00:11:12,985 --> 00:11:15,488
for muscular strength
and endurance.

236

237
00:11:16,489 --> 00:11:17,990
You're above average

238
00:11:18,491 --> 00:11:20,492
above average fitness
for your age group,

239
00:11:20,493 --> 00:11:23,746
definitely, I'd say
you're at a good spot right now.

240
00:11:23,747 --> 00:11:26,999
More than 60% of Americans
get no form of exercise,

241
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,002
so for the next 30 days,
neither will I.

242
00:11:30,003 --> 00:11:32,004
But I'll still have to walk.

243
00:11:32,505 --> 00:11:34,757
How much does the average
American walk a day?

244
00:11:34,758 --> 00:11:37,009
We have these pedometers
that we put on people,

245
00:11:37,010 --> 00:11:38,510
step counters.

246
00:11:38,511 --> 00:11:41,514
You could very roughly
estimate at about 2,000 steps,

247
00:11:41,515 --> 00:11:43,014
because 2,000
would make a mile.

248
00:11:43,015 --> 00:11:45,518
And we know that people
that work in office settings,

249
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,519
who drive a car
to and from work,

250
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,022
who take an elevator
up to that office,

251
00:11:50,023 --> 00:11:52,525
may take as little
as 2,500 or 3,000 steps

252
00:11:52,526 --> 00:11:54,025
in their entire day.

253
00:11:54,026 --> 00:11:57,029
If you wanted to feel physically
like a lot of Americans do,

254
00:11:57,030 --> 00:12:00,032
then you'd limit yourself
to about 5,000 steps a day.

255

we walk everywhere.

Most of us don't even own cars.

258
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:11,544
The average New Yorker will walk
four to five miles a day --

259
00:12:11,545 --> 00:12:12,545
a day!

260
00:12:13,045 --> 00:12:14,546

Oh, I love Big Macs.

351
00:16:13,285 --> 00:16:15,286
This is probably
the first time in a long time

352

that I've seen a big Mac
that looks like the picture,

353
00:16:17,791 --> 00:16:20,292
that actually almost
looks like the picture.

354

355
00:16:21,794 --> 00:16:24,295
Big Macs never look this good.

356
00:16:24,296 --> 00:16:27,800
You got to come to Chinatown
for the good big Macs.

357
00:16:27,801 --> 00:16:29,301
Mmm.

358
00:16:43,615 --> 00:16:45,616
You've heard
about all these people

359
00:16:45,617 --> 00:16:47,619
who are suing
these fast-food companies.

360
00:16:47,620 --> 00:16:49,121
Yes, I've heard of them.

361
00:16:49,122 --> 00:16:50,621
I think it's ridiculous,

362
00:16:50,622 --> 00:16:56,628
but it's the American
way to sue for everything.

363
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:59,631
I’d throw the lawsuit out
if I was a judge.

364
00:16:59,632 --> 00:17:01,133
And like I was saying,

365
00:17:01,633 --> 00:17:04,636
if these fast-food places
can put their signs up,

366
00:17:04,637 --> 00:17:07,638
if I can walk by them
and just totally ignore them

367
00:17:08,140 --> 00:17:10,142
and say, "I'm not hungry.
I don't need this,"

368
00:17:10,642 --> 00:17:12,143
they can do it, too.

369
00:17:12,144 --> 00:17:14,646
We don't have to go there.
We don't have to shop with them.

370
00:17:14,646 --> 00:17:17,148
we can easily go in McDonald's
and grab a salad,

371
00:17:17,150 --> 00:17:18,150
but we choose not to.

372
00:17:18,650 --> 00:17:21,652
Now, if the McDonald's
refused them service,

373
00:17:21,653 --> 00:17:25,657
they'd be in court again saying,
"we were refused service."

374
00:17:25,658 --> 00:17:28,659
so you can't win if you try
in this world.

375
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:31,663
I think there's a lot of focus
on the fast-food companies

376
00:17:32,164 --> 00:17:33,664
because they are mentioned more

377
00:17:33,665 --> 00:17:36,167
than virtually
all the other causes

378
00:17:36,168 --> 00:17:38,670
in most of the articles
and books and studies

379
00:17:38,671 --> 00:17:40,672
about why it's
a sudden epidemic.

380
00:17:41,173 --> 00:17:43,175
Again, it can't be
the neighborhood restaurant.

381
00:17:43,176 --> 00:17:45,177
We've had
neighborhood restaurants

382
00:17:45,178 --> 00:17:46,177
for hundreds of years.

383
00:17:46,178 --> 00:17:48,179
It can't be the foods
we eat at home.

384
00:17:48,180 --> 00:17:50,682
We've been eating at home
for hundreds of years.

385
00:17:50,683 --> 00:17:52,683
Something is very different.

386
00:17:52,684 --> 00:17:57,689
I think the figure is we eat out
something like 40% of our meals.

387
00:17:57,690 --> 00:17:59,691
MORGAN: John Banzhaf
is currently spearheading

388
00:17:59,692 --> 00:18:01,193
the attacks
against the food industry,

389
00:18:01,194 --> 00:18:02,693

390
00:18:02,694 --> 00:18:04,696
who are currently
going through the process.

391
00:18:04,697 --> 00:18:06,197
People say he's crazy,

392
00:18:06,198 --> 00:18:08,450
but that's what
they used to say about him

393
00:18:08,451 --> 00:18:10,702
when he first sued
the tobacco companies...

394
00:18:10,703 --> 00:18:12,703
until he won.

395
00:18:12,704 --> 00:18:15,206
I think in terms
of responsibility,

396
00:18:15,207 --> 00:18:18,210
it's fair to point
the big gun at McDonald's.

397
00:18:18,211 --> 00:18:20,711
McDonald’s is
one of the biggest

398
00:18:20,712 --> 00:18:24,215
but, more importantly,
it is the one which,

399
00:18:24,216 --> 00:18:27,719
far more than all the others,
lures in young children.

400
00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:32,224
They have the playgrounds,
the closed, indoor playgrounds.

401
00:18:32,225 --> 00:18:34,226
Many places,
there are no other playgrounds.

402
00:18:34,227 --> 00:18:35,727
You've got to
take your kid there.

403
00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:37,728
So even at 2 and 3 and 4,

404
00:18:37,729 --> 00:18:40,731
those kids are being
lured into there.

405
00:18:40,732 --> 00:18:42,984
McDonald’s is very heavy
on birthday parties.

406
00:18:42,985 --> 00:18:45,237
They, of course,
pioneered the happy meals,

407
00:18:45,238 --> 00:18:46,737
now the mighty kids' meals also

408
00:18:46,738 --> 00:18:49,241
with those little
"gotta have 'em" toys.

409
00:18:49,242 --> 00:18:50,741
So they get the kids in.

410
00:18:50,742 --> 00:18:53,745
And, of course, the whole clown.
McDonald's has the clown.

411
00:18:53,746 --> 00:18:56,248
A lot of those ads
appeal primarily to kids.

412
00:18:56,249 --> 00:18:59,001
There's a cartoon on TV
which features him.

413
00:18:59,002 --> 00:19:01,752
So they, more than others,
lure the kids in.

414
00:19:01,753 --> 00:19:05,257
I think all of us are far more
concerned about the kids.

415
00:19:05,258 --> 00:19:07,259
MORGAN: Another man
who is worried about the kids

416
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:08,760
is Samuel Hirsch.

417
00:19:09,261 --> 00:19:12,264
He represents the two girls
who are suing McDonald's,

418
00:19:12,265 --> 00:19:15,267
with much advisement
coming from professor Banzhaf.

419
00:19:15,268 --> 00:19:18,771
Why are you suing
the fast-food establishment?

420
00:19:18,772 --> 00:19:22,274
You mean motives besides
monetary recompensation?

421
00:19:22,275 --> 00:19:25,277
You mean you want
to hear a noble cause?

422
00:19:25,278 --> 00:19:26,778
Is that it?

423
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,780
Um...

424
00:19:29,781 --> 00:19:31,282
I think that fast foods

425
00:19:31,283 --> 00:19:34,286
are a major contributor
to this epidemic.

426
00:19:34,786 --> 00:19:36,287
MORGAN: In 2000,
Dr. David Satcher

427
00:19:36,288 --> 00:19:37,788
became the first surgeon general

428
00:19:37,789 --> 00:19:39,791
to draw attention
to the obesity crisis,

429
00:19:40,292 --> 00:19:41,793
declaring it
a national epidemic.

430
00:19:42,294 --> 00:19:46,298
Now, remember,
we're super-sizing everything.

431
00:19:46,798 --> 00:19:49,300
You go to any fast food store,

432
00:19:49,301 --> 00:19:52,804
and they're trained to tell you
to buy a bigger size.

433
00:19:52,805 --> 00:19:55,807
For five cents more,
you can get the super size.

434
00:19:55,808 --> 00:19:58,560
Federal government
will define a piece of meat,

435
00:19:58,561 --> 00:20:01,313
three ounces of meat,
as a sensible portion,

436
00:20:01,314 --> 00:20:03,315
and that looks like
a deck of cards.

437
00:20:03,815 --> 00:20:06,318
Few people would be able
to find this deck of cards

438
00:20:06,818 --> 00:20:09,321
if they were served a piece of
meat, a steak, in a restaurant.

439
00:20:09,322 --> 00:20:11,823
It would probably be about
four or five times this size.

440
00:20:12,324 --> 00:20:14,326
One typical bagel

441

that looks something like this

442
00:20:16,828 --> 00:20:19,831
is going to comprise
five servings of bread.

443
00:20:19,832 --> 00:20:22,334
When fast food companies
first opened,

444
00:20:22,335 --> 00:20:24,837
they generally
introduced one size.

445
00:20:24,838 --> 00:20:27,338
For example,
one size French fries

446
00:20:27,339 --> 00:20:30,842
when McDonald's first opened,
called "fries."

447
00:20:30,843 --> 00:20:33,845
that size fries
is now called "small."

448
00:20:33,846 --> 00:20:37,849
Medium, large, and super size.

449
00:20:38,350 --> 00:20:40,852
That original size
is still here.

450
00:20:40,853 --> 00:20:42,354
It's got about 200 calories.

451
00:20:42,854 --> 00:20:45,857
but the super size is gonna
pack in over 600 calories.

452
00:20:45,858 --> 00:20:47,858
When Burger King first opened,

453
00:20:47,859 --> 00:20:51,363
they had a 12-ounce small
and a 16-ounce large.

454
00:20:51,364 --> 00:20:52,864
This 12-ounce is now kiddy.

455
00:20:53,365 --> 00:20:55,867
The 16-ounce is now the small...

456
00:20:55,868 --> 00:20:58,370
the medium, the 32, and the 42

457
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:01,373
and this is across the board
with all fast-food places.

458
00:21:01,873 --> 00:21:04,376

a lot of ice cream,

00:34:15,132 --> 00:34:18,886
We had an ice-cream-cone-shape
d swimming pool in our backyard.

not only all 31 flavors in it,

that were under development.

the official taster.

in my mind.

had unlimited ice cream.

for me was my uncle,

754

And when he died,
as a young man, I asked my dad,

755

there could be a connection

ever lived on this planet.

the product was hurting anybody,

00:36:47,284 --> 00:36:49,786
If you get the regular size

796
00:36:49,787 --> 00:36:52,790
it contains nearly as many
calories as a strawberry sundae.

797
00:36:53,290 --> 00:36:55,042
With granola,
it has more calories

than the hot fudge
or caramel sundae.

in their own defense

that its foods undergo

866

than unprocessed foods.

made from chickens

into a sort of chicken mash,

that's radio,
television, and print --

$200 million internationally.

00:47:07,772 --> 00:47:10,773
T-shirts, coupons,
toys for children,

1051
00:47:10,774 --> 00:47:13,777
giveaways in fast-food places,
place mats,

1052
00:47:13,778 --> 00:47:15,778
just all of the different ways

in which food marketing
is ubiquitous.

People eat out a lot,

and so if there aren't healthy
foods available at restaurants,

1070

and there isn't
good nutrition information,

the takeaway nutrition charts,

personal responsibility

00:55:13,890 --> 00:55:15,641
The chili
will be homemade.

1208
00:55:15,642 --> 00:55:17,393
What about
the tomato soup?

1209
00:55:17,394 --> 00:55:18,394
Campbell’s.

1210
00:55:18,895 --> 00:55:19,895
Meatballs?

1211
00:55:19,896 --> 00:55:21,897
Comes in a box.
You heat it up.

1212
00:55:21,898 --> 00:55:23,900
Out of the course
of an entire month,

1213
00:55:23,901 --> 00:55:26,402
6 out of 36.

1214
00:55:26,903 --> 00:55:29,655
You're only cooking
6 out of 36 meals?

1215
00:55:29,656 --> 00:55:32,408
Appleton central
alternative high school

1216
00:55:32,909 --> 00:55:35,912
is filled with students who have
truancy and behavioral problems.

1217
00:55:35,913 --> 00:55:37,913
But they've turned
things around --

1218
00:55:37,914 --> 00:55:40,666
not through discipline,
but through diet.

1219
00:55:40,667 --> 00:55:43,418
We were fortunate
to kind of stumble across

1220
00:55:43,419 --> 00:55:47,173
this healthy program
as a result of some contact

1221
00:55:47,174 --> 00:55:50,927
with natural oven and bakery
of Manitowoc Wisconsin,

1222
00:55:51,427 --> 00:55:54,931
and they believe
in low-fat, low-sugar,

1223
00:55:54,932 --> 00:55:57,433
non-chemically processed foods

1224
00:55:57,934 --> 00:56:00,937
that are free of dyes
and preservatives,

1225
00:56:00,938 --> 00:56:02,939
full of whole grains,

1226
00:56:03,439 --> 00:56:05,942
a lot of fresh fruits
and vegetables.

1227
00:56:06,442 --> 00:56:07,443
We do no beef here at all,

1228
00:56:07,944 --> 00:56:09,946
and then it's the method
of preparation,

1229
00:56:09,947 --> 00:56:11,446
where we don't fry.

1230
00:56:11,447 --> 00:56:14,450
A lot of baking
and then just fresh preparation,

1231
00:56:14,451 --> 00:56:15,952
as opposed to opening cans

1232
00:56:16,452 --> 00:56:18,453
or thawing things out
from the box.

1233
00:56:18,454 --> 00:56:21,456
We got rid of candy machines,
soda machines,

1234
00:56:21,457 --> 00:56:24,460
brought in bottled water,
and it was just a situation

1235
00:56:24,461 --> 00:56:26,963
where we saw a major change in the kids.

1236
00:56:27,463 --> 00:56:29,965
If you walk through these halls,
and you're here,

1237
00:56:29,966 --> 00:56:32,468
these do not look like at-risk,
out-of-control kids.

1238
00:56:32,969 --> 00:56:34,971
Their behaviors are better.

1239
00:56:34,972 --> 00:56:36,973
They seem to be more focused.

1240
00:56:36,974 --> 00:56:38,473
Teachers will tell you

1241
00:56:38,474 --> 00:56:41,476
that they get more
out of them in the class.

1242
00:56:41,477 --> 00:56:43,979
MORGAN: Keep in mind,
this is not a private school.

1243
00:56:43,980 --> 00:56:47,483
These are the "trouble kids"
of the public school system

1244
00:56:47,484 --> 00:56:50,486
in Appleton, Wisconsin,
that are eating so well.

1245
00:56:50,487 --> 00:56:51,987
and it costs about the same

1246
00:56:51,988 --> 00:56:54,489
as any other
school lunch program.

1247
00:56:54,490 --> 00:56:56,993
So my question is --
why isn't everyone doing this?

1248
00:56:57,493 --> 00:56:59,495
There's an awful lot
of resistance

1249
00:56:59,496 --> 00:57:01,997
from the junk food companies

1250
00:57:01,998 --> 00:57:04,500
that make huge profits off
schools at the present time.

1251
00:57:04,501 --> 00:57:07,503
They don't want to get kicked
out of the school system.

1252
00:57:07,504 --> 00:57:10,506
They want to be there
to addict the children for life.

1253
00:57:11,007 --> 00:57:13,009
The soft drink companies,
especially, boast about

1254
00:57:13,010 --> 00:57:15,011
how they're contributing
to America's education,

1255
00:57:15,511 --> 00:57:16,512
but, in fact, what they're doing

1256
00:57:17,013 --> 00:57:18,514
is they're draining money
from the community

1257
00:57:19,015 --> 00:57:21,017
rather than contributing money
to the community

1258
00:57:21,018 --> 00:57:22,517
because the soft drink companies

1259
00:57:22,518 --> 00:57:24,520
aren't pumping those dollars
into the machines.

1260
00:57:24,521 --> 00:57:26,521
It's the children
in the community

1261
00:57:26,522 --> 00:57:28,523
who are getting the money
from their parents,

1262
00:57:28,524 --> 00:57:31,027
and instead of that money
going directly to education,

1263
00:57:31,028 --> 00:57:33,529
the soft drink companies
are taking a cut of it

1264
00:57:33,530 --> 00:57:36,282
and walking away rich
as a consequence.

1265
00:57:36,283 --> 00:57:39,035
We just banned soda
in our school district,

1266
00:57:39,535 --> 00:57:44,040
and the sugar here shows you how
much sugar a student will drink

1267
00:57:44,041 --> 00:57:46,041
in a week of just soda.

1268
00:57:46,042 --> 00:57:48,043
Forget about
the rest of the food they eat.

1269
00:57:48,044 --> 00:57:52,548
And some of these companies
are really opposing the ban

1270
00:57:52,549 --> 00:57:56,052
for reasons of
that we would lose revenue.

1271
00:57:56,053 --> 00:57:57,554
And it's not about money.

1272
00:57:57,555 --> 00:57:59,055
It's not about economics.

1273
00:57:59,555 --> 00:58:00,556
It's about health.

1274
00:58:03,559 --> 00:58:04,559
Ooh.

1275
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:09,565
The McDonald's
Texas home-style burger meal.

1276
00:58:09,566 --> 00:58:12,068
That's a --
that's a local specialty.

1277
00:58:12,069 --> 00:58:14,569
So it's kind of like
a big 'n' tasty?

1278
00:58:14,570 --> 00:58:17,573
Yes, except the big 'n' tasty
comes with mayonnaise.

1279
00:58:17,574 --> 00:58:18,573
Oh, then, you know what?

1280
00:58:18,574 --> 00:58:22,578
I need the McDonald's Texas
homestyle burger meal, please.

1281
00:58:22,579 --> 00:58:25,581
Would you like
to super-size it today?

1282
00:58:25,582 --> 00:58:27,082
Oh, yes, I would.

1283
00:58:27,083 --> 00:58:29,085
Do a lot of people
super-size it?

1284
00:58:29,086 --> 00:58:30,585
Yes.

1285
00:58:30,586 --> 00:58:33,589
Say you asked five people.
How many of those five do it?

1286
00:58:33,590 --> 00:58:35,590
Actually,
I get mostly all of them.

1287
00:58:35,591 --> 00:58:38,594
Mostly all of them?
So you're batting about 100%?

1288
00:58:38,595 --> 00:58:40,095
I guess.

1289
00:58:40,096 --> 00:58:42,098
See that?
She's that good.

1290
00:58:42,598 --> 00:58:43,598
Deborah’s that good.

1291
00:58:43,599 --> 00:58:46,102
First meal inside the restaurant
that I went in to get,

1292
00:58:46,103 --> 00:58:48,104
and they asked me
to super-size it.

1293
00:58:48,105 --> 00:58:49,604
We're gonna keep a little tabs,

1294
00:58:49,605 --> 00:58:53,108
see how many times they ask me
to super-size it here in Texas,

1295
00:58:53,109 --> 00:58:56,612
'cause Texas, out of the top 1
5 fattest cities in America,

1296
00:58:56,613 --> 00:58:58,614
Texas has five.

1297
00:59:10,626 --> 00:59:14,130
Here we are -- Houston, Texas,
fattest city in America,

1298
00:59:14,630 --> 00:59:17,133
getting my first breakfast.

1299
00:59:20,136 --> 00:59:21,636
Hi, can I help you, sir?

1300
00:59:21,637 --> 00:59:23,639
When it comes
to the topic of obesity,

1301
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,641
many people are quick
to point the finger

1302
00:59:25,642 --> 00:59:27,642
at various foods
and food companies,

1303
00:59:27,643 --> 00:59:29,645
but the grocery manufacturers
of America,

1304
00:59:29,646 --> 00:59:31,647
a Washington, D.C.-based
lobby group,

1305
00:59:32,148 --> 00:59:34,149
whose mission
is to advance the interests

1306
00:59:34,150 --> 00:59:36,152
of the food, beverage,
and consumer products industry,

1307
00:59:36,652 --> 00:59:38,153
are quick
to shift the focus away

1308
00:59:38,154 --> 00:59:39,654
from the companies
they represent

1309
00:59:39,655 --> 00:59:42,658
and to remind everyone
that there's more at work here

1310
00:59:42,659 --> 00:59:44,159
than just eating poorly.

1311
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,163
GRABOWSKI: We believe
very strongly in our industry,

1312
00:59:47,164 --> 00:59:49,665
and in other industries,
I think you'll find

1313
00:59:49,666 --> 00:59:51,166
there's a growing consensus

1314
00:59:51,167 --> 00:59:53,169
that the solution
lies in good education.

1315
00:59:53,170 --> 00:59:55,171
We have to get good information
to parents

1316
00:59:55,172 --> 00:59:57,173
so that they can
teach their children

1317
00:59:57,174 --> 00:59:59,175
better exercise
and nutrition habits

1318
00:59:59,675 --> 01:00:01,677
and so they can lead
the healthy lifestyles.

1319
01:00:02,178 --> 01:00:05,181
We don't teach physical
education in schools anymore.

1320
01:00:05,182 --> 01:00:07,682
MORGAN:
In the U.S., only one state

1321
01:00:07,683 --> 01:00:10,686
requires mandatory physical
education for grades k-12.

1322
01:00:10,687 --> 01:00:13,189
It's also one of the fattest -- Illinois.

1323
01:00:13,689 --> 01:00:14,689
You got a heart rate?

1324
01:00:14,690 --> 01:00:16,691
Phil Lawler
is the phys ed teacher

1325
01:00:16,692 --> 01:00:20,196
at Madison junior high school,
home of the soaring war hawks,

1326
01:00:20,696 --> 01:00:23,199
the snack-ridden school lunches
we saw earlier,

1327
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,200
and one of the most
well-executed

1328
01:00:25,201 --> 01:00:27,203
physical education programs
in the country.

1329
01:00:27,703 --> 01:00:30,206
Supported mostly by fundraising
and parent involvement,

1330
01:00:30,207 --> 01:00:32,708
Lawler has created a role model
for instructors

1331
01:00:32,709 --> 01:00:34,709
and school districts nationwide.

1332
01:00:34,710 --> 01:00:37,713
LAWLER: When's the last time you
ever heard of a science class

1333
01:00:37,714 --> 01:00:39,214
fundraising to get their labs?

1334
01:00:39,215 --> 01:00:41,717
eventually, society
has to step up to the plate

1335
01:00:41,718 --> 01:00:43,218
and say, "This is important.

1336
01:00:43,219 --> 01:00:45,221
"We should have
daily physical education

1337
01:00:45,222 --> 01:00:46,721
and equip it properly."

1338
01:00:46,722 --> 01:00:48,224
We have to say,
"Our greatest strength

1339
01:00:48,724 --> 01:00:50,226
is the resource
of our young people."

1340
01:00:50,227 --> 01:00:52,728
That's our future,

1341
01:00:53,229 --> 01:00:55,981
and the way we're treating
our resources right now,

1342
01:00:55,982 --> 01:00:58,733
we're running into some
serious problems with that.

1343
01:00:58,734 --> 01:01:01,237
I’ve always said we've never
had healthcare in this country.

1344
01:01:01,238 --> 01:01:02,738
we've only had "sick care."

1345
01:01:03,239 --> 01:01:05,741
I think daily physical education
is the only place out there

1346
01:01:05,742 --> 01:01:08,744
that's really
offering a solution.

1347
01:01:08,745 --> 01:01:11,746
PHILLIPS:
When I start the music,

1348
01:01:11,747 --> 01:01:14,750
you are gonna begin traveling
through general space.

1349
01:01:14,751 --> 01:01:16,502
You will go back to your spot,

1350
01:01:16,503 --> 01:01:18,254
and I will tell you
a body shape.

1351
01:01:18,255 --> 01:01:19,755
Watch out for other...

1352
01:01:20,256 --> 01:01:21,757
People!
People! People!

1353
01:01:22,258 --> 01:01:24,760
[ UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS ]

1354
01:01:24,761 --> 01:01:26,262
Round!

1355
01:01:27,763 --> 01:01:28,763
Good job.

1356
01:01:28,764 --> 01:01:29,765
MORGAN: How many days a week

1357
01:01:30,266 --> 01:01:32,768
do the kids here at this school
get to go to gym?

1358
01:01:32,769 --> 01:01:36,272
Once. One day a week.
For 45 minutes.

1359
01:01:36,273 --> 01:01:37,774
Is that enough?

1360
01:01:37,775 --> 01:01:39,274
No. Nowhere close.

1361
01:01:39,275 --> 01:01:42,278
Not when the surgeon general
recommends that, at minimum,

1362
01:01:42,279 --> 01:01:44,781
you need 30 minutes
of physical activity a day

1363
01:01:44,782 --> 01:01:47,283
to maintain your weight
and a healthy well-being.

1364
01:01:47,783 --> 01:01:49,784
So, once a week
is nowhere close.

1365
01:01:49,785 --> 01:01:53,289
MORGAN: In 2001, president Bush
announced his presidency

1366
01:01:53,290 --> 01:01:54,791
with sweeping education reform.

1367
01:01:54,792 --> 01:01:56,292
The "no child left behind" act

1368
01:01:56,293 --> 01:01:57,793
would now hold states
accountable

1369
01:01:58,294 --> 01:02:01,046
for not having students who met
minimum education requirements.

1370
01:02:01,047 --> 01:02:03,799
Apparently, we were not only
the fattest nation in the world,

1371
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,800
but we were quickly
becoming the stupidest.

1372
01:02:05,801 --> 01:02:08,304
It may be sending a very
difficult message for schools.

1373
01:02:08,305 --> 01:02:10,556
One of the reasons
recess is being cut back

1374
01:02:10,557 --> 01:02:12,807
in elementary schools,
as I said earlier --

1375
01:02:12,808 --> 01:02:15,311
that's being cut out so

1545
01:09:53,103 --> 01:09:55,104

make yourself unsick

what you're doing.

I’m just afraid
there will be something

1548
01:10:00,609 --> 01:10:02,111
that's totally irreversible,

1549
01:10:02,611 --> 01:10:05,614
that there will be
some damage done that...

1550
01:10:05,615 --> 01:10:08,116
- Yeah.
- I don't know.

1551

going to correct itself.

Thanks, mom.
Thanks.

01:10:43,986 --> 01:10:46,989
There's a drug that is used in
emergency rooms called Naloxone.

1562
01:10:46,990 --> 01:10:48,990
It's used for heroin overdose.

1563
01:10:48,991 --> 01:10:51,493
A guy comes in

He's gonna die.

1565
01:10:52,995 --> 01:10:54,996
You inject him with this drug,

1566
01:10:54,997 --> 01:10:57,499
and it blocks the opiate
receptors in the brain.

1567

1570

you find
the most amazing thing --

1571
01:11:08,510 --> 01:11:10,512
they lose much of their interest
in chocolate.

1572
01:11:10,513 --> 01:11:13,014
They take a bite,
they set it back down.

1573
01:11:13,015 --> 01:11:15,517
In other words,
it's not taste and mouth feel.

1574
01:11:15,518 --> 01:11:18,020
it's a drug effect of the food

at least once a week

I’m not kidding.

72% of the people who eat

01:12:28,090 --> 01:12:31,593
cheese, of course, which is
filled with the casomorphins,

the opiates that are found
in the cheese protein --

MORGAN: in 2002,
McDonald’s France

1611
01:12:49,611 --> 01:12:52,113
took out a full-page ad
in a French magazine

1612
01:12:52,114 --> 01:12:54,616
in which a nutritionist stated,
"there is no reason

1613
01:12:55,117 --> 01:12:57,369
to go to McDonald's
more than once a week."

1614
01:12:57,370 --> 01:12:59,620
McDonald’s corporate
headquarters in the U.S.

1615
01:12:59,621 --> 01:13:02,123
freaked out, saying that
this is only one opinion,

1616
01:13:02,124 --> 01:13:04,626
and that the vast majority
of nutrition professionals

1617
01:13:04,627 --> 01:13:07,129
say that McDonald's food
can be a part of a healthy diet.

1618
01:13:07,130 --> 01:13:09,631
So, we thought we'd randomly
call some nutritionists

1619
01:13:09,632 --> 01:13:11,133

Rare to never.

01:13:18,140 --> 01:13:20,892

Zero is the best.

Just one day out of the blue,

01:15:59,051 --> 01:16:01,928
I went to work,
drove to work that night,

1686
01:16:01,929 --> 01:16:04,805
got to work,
couldn't read the charts,

1687
01:16:04,806 --> 01:16:07,309
and I had to call my supervisor,
tell her I couldn't work

1688
01:16:07,310 --> 01:16:09,310
because I couldn't see
what I was doing,

1689
01:16:09,311 --> 01:16:11,813
and called my wife,
had to get her to ride to work

1690
01:16:11,814 --> 01:16:13,314
to pick me up
and take me home.

1691
01:16:13,315 --> 01:16:16,318
And then once I stopped
drinking the diet soda waters,

1692
01:16:16,818 --> 01:16:17,818
got my sugars back down.

1693
01:16:17,819 --> 01:16:20,322
I was fortunate enough,
my eyesight came back.

1694
01:16:20,822 --> 01:16:25,577
I didn't do that much damage
to them at that time.

1695
01:16:25,578 --> 01:16:30,332
I think it's human nature
to seek a drastic solution

1696
01:16:30,333 --> 01:16:32,834
only when you're faced
with a drastic problem.

1697
01:16:32,835 --> 01:16:35,337
I drank three or four
of those a day.

1698
01:16:35,338 --> 01:16:36,837
This is a half-gallon,

1699
01:16:36,838 --> 01:16:38,840
so that means
you were drinking probably

1700
01:16:38,841 --> 01:16:40,841
about two gallons of soda
a day.

1701
01:16:40,842 --> 01:16:42,844
It wasn't unusual,
for a two-week time,

1702
01:16:42,845 --> 01:16:44,846
we'd buy
50 two-liters of soda water.

1703
01:16:44,847 --> 01:16:46,848
50 two-liters
every two weeks.

1704
01:16:46,849 --> 01:16:48,349
And I'd probably end up

1705
01:16:48,350 --> 01:16:50,352
having to pick him up
a couple extra.

1706
01:16:50,852 --> 01:16:51,853
He drinks more than I do.

1707
01:16:52,354 --> 01:16:54,855
I’ll go through
about one of those a day.

1708
01:16:54,856 --> 01:16:58,360
There's some days I go through
three or four two-liters.

01:33:42,464 --> 01:33:43,463
"three times a day.

2049
01:33:43,464 --> 01:33:45,966
No wonder all this stuff
happened to you."

2050
01:33:45,967 --> 01:33:47,467
But the scary part is,

2051
01:33:47,468 --> 01:33:50,471
there are people
who eat this food regularly.

2052
01:33:50,472 --> 01:33:52,472
Some people
even eat it every day.

2053
01:33:52,473 --> 01:33:55,476
So while my experiment
may have been a little extreme,

2054
01:33:55,477 --> 01:33:56,977
it's not that crazy.

2055
01:33:57,478 --> 01:33:59,479
But here is a crazy idea --

2056
01:33:59,480 --> 01:34:02,482
why not do away
with your super size options?

2057
01:34:02,483 --> 01:34:05,986
Who needs 42 ounces of coke,
a half-pound of fries?

2058
01:34:06,487 --> 01:34:08,488
and why not give me a choice

2059
01:34:08,489 --> 01:34:10,991
besides French fries
or French fries?

2060
01:34:10,992 --> 01:34:12,492
that would be a great start.

2061
01:34:12,493 --> 01:34:14,995
But why should these companies
want to change?

2062
01:34:15,496 --> 01:34:17,998
Their loyalty isn't to you.
It's to the stockholders.

2063
01:34:17,999 --> 01:34:20,501
The bottom line --
they're a business,

2064
01:34:20,502 --> 01:34:22,001
no matter what they say.

2065
01:34:22,002 --> 01:34:26,006
And by selling you unhealthy
food, they make millions,

2066
01:34:26,007 --> 01:34:28,508
and no company
wants to stop doing that.

2067
01:34:28,509 --> 01:34:31,011
If this ever-growing paradigm
is going to shift,

2068
01:34:31,012 --> 01:34:32,512
it's up to you.

2069
01:34:32,513 --> 01:34:35,516
But if you decide to keep
living this way, go ahead.

2070
01:34:36,016 --> 01:34:39,019
Over time, you may find yourself
getting as sick as I did,

2071
01:34:39,020 --> 01:34:40,521
and you may wind up here...

2072
01:34:40,522 --> 01:34:41,522
or here.

2073
01:34:42,022 --> 01:34:44,023
I guess the big question is --

2074
01:34:44,024 --> 01:34:48,529
who do you want to see go first,
you or them?

2075
01:34:57,037 --> 01:35:00,290
Right now, you have the urge
to eat something.

2076
01:35:00,291 --> 01:35:03,544
When it's through,
if you still want to eat,

2077
01:35:03,545 --> 01:35:06,046
then you're probably
really hungry.

2078
01:35:06,047 --> 01:35:07,548
