Supersize vs Superskinny C4 - Series 5 Episode 2

Dr Christian flies out to Evansville, Indiana, officially America's 'Fattest City', where 38% of the population is obese.

Experts predict that by 2020 a third of adults in the UK will be obese. But in America this milestone has already been reached. He meets a woman who lost her foot to obesity-related diabetes, and visits a funeral home where the coffins are the size of hot tubs!

In the Feeding Clinic, Supersize and Superskinny go on a shocking diet swap. But before they swap diets, Christian gives his Supersizer a terrifying glimpse into the future by sending them to the US, to spend time with somebody whose obesity has ruined their life.

Daily Mail providing fatties with excuses for being Obese

From the Daily Mail:

As obesity levels continue their inexorable rise, the Government’s official weight-loss message is still focused on four words: eat less, move more.

But if you are one of the estimated 20 per cent of people who are on a permanent diet, or one of the 40 per cent of men and 30 per cent of women who regularly exercise and still can’t seem to lose weight, it could be very tempting to start to wonder whether perhaps there’s something else going on.

In fact, there are many common illnesses, lifestyle habits, even medications that — without you realising it — could be scuppering your best weight-loss intentions.

Here, the experts reveal the tell-tale symptoms that show the real reason you’re fat.

First, look for the description that best matches your experience, and discover what the problem could be... Click HERE to read the Daily Mail's list of excuses for being fat.

Childhood Obesity: Michigan to Require BMI Reports on Children

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder plans to require doctors to tell state health officials where the children they treat fall on body mass indexes that can indicate if they're overweight or obese.
The move would help track a growing obesity problem while opening the way for doctors to be more proactive in offering advice. Full story HERE

Nursing Times: Obesity in children is a ticking time bomb

From the Nursing Times:

Nurse lecturer Florence Mitchell on why we urgently need evidence-based interventions to tackle obesity in children

If we already think we have problems meeting care expectations, we must tackle obesity in children before it becomes too serious for us to manage. To put this problem into context, recent research published in The Lancet reports that by the year 2030, 26 million people living in the UK could be suffering from obesity.

Fat children have been depicted in literature throughout the ages, from the fat boy in The Pickwick Papers and Billy Bunter to characters in the Nancy Drew and Sweet Valley High books. They used to stand out because they were different, but this is no longer the case.

Research evidence estimates there are 22 million overweight children worldwide; 33% of these are aged 2-10. This poses serious consequences for these children and society, with major risks for long-term conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke and certain cancers.

The epidemic has reached a level where people find it difficult to identify when a child is overweight, even incorrectly believing their children have a healthy weight. Parents often rationalise excess weight as “puppy fat” rather than facing facts and are appalled when the body mass index of their child is recorded. Full story HERE

Should severely obese children be taken into care on the grounds of neglect?

Child Obesity

Cumbria County Council have taken an obese 8 year old girl into care. The girl is 5ft tall and is already having to wear size 16 clothes. The girls parents are said to be devastated and claim that their daughters weight problems are due to medical problems and genetics, not neglect. The girl's mother said: “Our world has fallen apart. Our daughter doesn’t overeat and she’s active. She’s always been chubby but she’s always out playing. The only bad thing we have given her is fizzy drinks.”

A small number of children around the country have already been taken into care on similar grounds. This is the first instance of Cumbria County Council taking this kind of action. Anne Ridgway, chairman of the Cumbria Local Safeguarding Children Board, said: “Parental behaviour that leads to childhood obesity can be a form of neglect. But a child’s weight becomes a safeguarding issue only in extreme cases and thankfully they are very rare.”

Colin Waine, the chairman of the National Obesity forum, said: “We feel that there is never an easy option in these circumstances, but the preferred management is to work with families from the time children are born, so their growth can be monitored regularly. We need to work with families so these problems do not escalate.”

Dr Matt Capehorn, head of an obesity clinic in Rotherham, South Yorkshire said: "No healthcare professional would want to break up a family unit but this has to be considered if the child's health is being put at risk."
