Obesidad en EE. UU.: Una Epidemia Mortal | Historias Vivas | Documental HD

Never before in history have Americans been so obese. Despite repeated government efforts to encourage weight loss, obesity rates continue to rise. 160 million Americans are severely overweight. Faced with this staggering figure, healthcare professionals are searching for new, more effective, and aggressive treatments for this disease. We meet Casey, one of the few people for whom weight has become a matter of life and death, and travel to Arizona to learn about a new and innovative academy that helps young women learn healthy habits and lose weight. Despite the growing obesity crisis, a new movement is sweeping the United States: body positivity. Through lucrative social media accounts, popular magazine covers, and even successful "Miss Plus" beauty pageants, overweight Americans are learning to embrace their curves and love themselves regardless of their size. --- Living Stories is home to the most incredible documentaries from around the world.
