  • You optimize the very ignorance this video is addressing. There are many causes for obesity & most are related to hormone levels and insulin levels. When insulin can't properly do it's job, due to these health issues, it initiates a struggle with weight that most people fail to win. You should educate yourself before making wide sweeping statements on subjects you know so little about. Your "two cents" aren't worth two cents.

  • Hmm its not as simple as you think. Humans are not exactly immune to 10 ads every 5 minutes showing junk food. And the predjudice towards fat people makes them depressed and makes it harder to lose weight. It's hard to believe that just 200 years ago being fat was a good thing, meant they came from a wealthy family.

    they are nutcases i know but fat people have jobs and contribute to society

    anorexics are too ill to work and are mentally nutters

  • I agree with everything said, especially on unhelpful GP's - who should be at the top of the list to HELP people who are extremely overweight. I have currently lost 3 stones (with 6 more to go) on my own - but it has been a very hard struggle with depression & temper mood swings along the way! But I had enough of the insults and vile jokes that even affected my children! Well done Anne on a brilliant piece of work - keep up the good fight!

  • I'm Sorry but, it is a persons choice if they want to eat themselves to death. Not something that it thrust upon them.
