Fast food, Fat profits: Obesity in America
Oh no, I am always craving junk food! |
Minorities have been even more profoundly affected: African-Americans have a 50 percent higher prevalence of obesity, and Hispanics 25 percent higher compared to whites. How did the situation get so out of hand?
On this episode of Fault Lines, Josh Rushing explores the world of cheap fast food for Americans living on the margins. What opportunities do people have to eat healthy? Who is responsible for "food deserts" and processed foods in American schools? Fault Lines finds food revolutions taking place and speaks with the people who are fighting back.
