Obesity rates in the United States have reached epidemic proportions in recent years. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that at least 110,000 people die per year due to obesity and 1/3 of all cancer deaths are directly related to it.

Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona remarked that obesity is a more pressing issue than terrorism, 'Obesity is a terror within. It's destroying our society from within and unless we do something about it, the magnitude of the dilemma will dwarf 9/11 or any other terrorist event that you can point out...' From our human evolution and our changing environment to the way our government's public policies are actually causing obesity, "Killer at Large" shows how little is being done and more importantly, what can be done to reverse it.

"Killer at Large" also explores the human element of the problem with portions of the film that follow a 12-year old girl who has a controversial liposuction procedure to fix her weight gain and a number of others suffering from obesity, including filmmaker Neil Labute.

This film will be released on DVD in March 2009. For more info please contact dvd@disinfo.com.

  • How about they stop putting steroids inside of chickens and cows that is what making people so fat!

  • How about we simply eat what we're supposed to eat...there's food all around us and we call it grass, we call it weeds, or "yucky vegetables." All food growing on this planet is what we're supposed to eat. We won't get fat if we eat fresh organic vegetables, just the way they are...without cooking the nutrients out of them. Take a look at before and after pictures of people who eat raw vegan food. They don't age, they youth. And their diseases disappear. They are full of life!
