Description
Summary:This video explores an interactionist approach to obesity. Part 1 shows how cultural and environmental changes have altered our relationship with food and created an 'obesogenic environment'. But why isn't everyone obese? Part 2 filmed at the Dept. of Neuroscience at Cambridge University, Professor Giles Yeo explains the role of genetics in making some people more vulnerable to hunger and obesity than others. Part 3 looks at new research from University College London that illustrates how the interaction of environmental change and genetic vulnerability is creating a growing cycle of obesity that some experts believe could make the current generation of children the first to die before their parents.
