A 1/3 of all adult males and ½ of all adult females are over weight in South Africa today. That's 40% of the population! This film explores the rise of new million pound companies who charge customers to teach them how to lose weight. The statistics are not good and with obesity rising 20% each year, South Africans are looking towards these new clinics, groups and health advises for help. But is it a waste of money? Simple healthy eating and living programmes and advice are now available free from the South African government.

  • south africans(blk) are full of crap sometimes they think they are better than other africans now they r fat shyt lol

  • @tonata24 hahahahaha u funny

  • The introduction was just disturbing it made gain weight just watching!!

  • I really hate all these organisations like weight watchers, that are supposed to help ppl lose weight. It´s way too expensive and it feels like they´re just using people. Anyone can learn what they teach you by reading facts online for free. If you need support, turn to your friends...for free. 

  • african famine will be in the past and african obesity is now the future thank to fast-food...

  • @XxPnuemaxX Africa is a continent , there are 56 other countries in Africa that don't have an obesity epidemic.

  • @HotKebab Lol was in one of garfields oldest strips:D  Love it:)

  • @H0tkebab

    some people use it seriously, though. I heard Mo'Nique saying it in her videos

  • @gintare123

    I was quoting Garfield the cat.

  • @HotKebab

    it's as smart and as making sense as saying:

    Fat=Fa(r)t
