Description

This video essay examines weight loss and obesity in America, opening with a close-up of an adult torso before cutting to a meter and text discussing obesity, which is described as an American epidemic. X-ray images of the torso show internal fat. Seventy-four percent of Americans are reportedly overweight. The essay shows scenes of food marketing and consumption: a pie decorated as the American flag, sugary drinks, and a shelf lined with sugary drinks. Medical scenes, including doctors and nurses, also appear. The video also touches on the cost of weight loss and health care, with images of medical bills displaying large amounts.
