OVERWEIGHT IN AMERICA

Today, over 30 percent of adults in the U.S. are classified as obese. Geared toward teens, this program explores the onset of the obesity epidemic in America, the serious health hazards associated with obesity, and easy ways to integrate healthy eating and exercise into a daily routine. Viewers meet teens at a weight-loss camp, a health-conscious family of four, and Ron, a teen struggling with obesity, as they reveal their personal struggles with food and weight and the benefits they hope to gain from their lifestyle changes. The 37-page guide includes learning objectives, a program summary, 13 reproducible student activities (including personal-health tests and diet evaluations), and seven fact sheets containing information related to healthy living. Grades 7–12. Closed captioned. Color. 20 minutes. Human Relations Media. ©2006.
