Frontline: Diet Wars
» About the film:
Americans spend $40 billion a year on books, products, and programs designed to do one thing: help us lose weight. From Atkins to Ornish and Weight Watchers to the South Beach Diet, today's dieters have a dizzying array of weight loss programs from which to choose -- yet the underlying principles of these diets are often contradictory. Is low fat better than low carb? Is Atkins the answer? And has the USDA food pyramid done more harm than good? FRONTLINE examines the great diet debate
Frontline: Diet Wars. Companion website and teaching guide. Lots of lesson plans, activities, and discussion ideas for teachers.
Video can be accessed in entirety at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/diet/ in Windows Media and RealPlayer. It is also listed on the UEN Emedia page, but I was unable to download it (maybe because it isn't compatible with Quicktime). The DVD can be purchased on the Diet Wars website for $30. Looks worth it to me.
