FAT: What No One Is Telling You

This is quite an eye-opening program on PBS about weight and weight loss. One interesting factoid that came about from this program about bariatric surgery: it’s apparently not the shrinking of the stomach that helps so much, but rather the nerves that get cut in the gut as part of this process.

Also, this article from the New York Times explains what is behind the phenomenon where the cheapest food is often the least healthy. Nobody’s talking about that, either.
