Have you seen the National Body Challenge programming on Discovery Health yet? It's great television. One series has sets of obese twins getting fit over a period of months. You see them go from flab to fit through exercise and moderated eating. No invasive surgeries, no wacky diets. Plus, the twins all confront the psychological factors that have led to their over-eating. All this is what people really need to see - individuals taking responsibility for themselves and their behavior and achieving fitness, physically and mentally. No shortcuts, no gurus, no blame, nothing purely superficial.
I really enjoyed watching these people overcome their obesity from the comfort of my bed while eating Chinese food.
