The highest calorie cheeseburger
world cooks in Texas, in Dallas,00:00:10
in a hospital like no other.00:00:15
- The patients are coming, let's go!00:00:21
- So you're hungry?
You are hot ?00:00:24
So come in quick and close that door for me.00:00:29
At the Heart Attack Grill, the restaurant
heart attack,00:00:32
customers are pampered patients
by cleavage nurses.00:00:36
- I will feed you until you explode.00:00:39
John Basso, the boss,
a disillusioned former nutritionist00:00:42
converted into provocative junk food.00:00:45
- So for you,
you're going to have a burger.00:00:49
And for dessert, you need the cream
whipped with strawberry-flavoured butter.00:00:55
We tell the truth to our customers.
Our kitchen will simply kill you.00:01:02
At the entrance to the restaurant, John Basso
did install this warning:00:01:07
Attention ! This establishment
is dangerous for your health.00:01:11
House specialty :
Quadruple coronary bypass.00:01:14
That's the name of this burger with
four slices of ground beef,00:01:17
20 slices of bacon and ten of cheese.00:01:20
Weight of the sandwich, one kilogram
and 8000 calories.00:01:24
The energy intake of nine meals.00:01:29
In the middle of the kitchen, a scale00:01:31
where customers can
measure their popularity.00:01:42
- The tradition here is that if you weigh
less than 160 kg, we boo you.00:01:46
Because you are not a true champion.00:01:50
And for the champions who make the balance buzz,00:01:53
the Heart Attack Grill literally delivers the meal.00:01:57
The apology of obesity,
a well-oiled marketing strategy.00:02:01
- Either people love it or they hate it.00:02:05
Me, I prefer that people hate me
because they are going to write letters,00:02:09
publish press articles,
do all they can.00:02:12
To say what I'm doing is wrong.
For me, it's great.00:02:18
Death at the end of the hamburger,
it can make you smile.00:02:21
Except that the Heart Attack Grill,
it kills for real.00:02:25
- Few months ago
this is what I was wearing.00:02:28
Blair River, 270 kilos was promoting
of the restaurant in an advertisement.00:02:33
He died last March
complications from simple pneumonia.00:02:37
He was 29 years old.00:02:38
Ask your doctor if the diet
of the Heart Attack Grill is right for you.00:02:42
- Do you feel responsible?
of the death of your spokesperson?00:02:46
- Absolutely. I bear the same responsibility
than anyone who sells junk food.00:02:56
Obesity kills 400,000 people
per year in the United States.00:03:01
Demographic projections announce
a decrease in life expectancy00:03:05
because America eats too much.00:03:07
A first in a developed country.00:03:16
America realizes that it is
seriously ill.00:03:20
On the way to becoming
leading cause of death in the United States00:03:24
obesity kills today
almost as much as tobacco.00:03:32
First Lady Michelle Obama
plow the country to put00:03:35
dieting Americans.00:03:40
America must move
children are getting bigger and bigger.00:03:44
Obese people are dying younger and younger.00:03:47
Being overweight even became the first
because of dismissals in the army.00:03:51
Generals step up.00:03:53
Obesity has become
such a serious problem00:03:56
that it endangers national security.00:03:59
America has declared war on obesity.00:04:03
Holiday camps for fat people
are flourishing all over the country.00:04:08
But the great novelty
comes from politics.00:04:12
City hall declares war
to fast food.00:04:16
Today, elected officials are tackling the
roots of the epidemic.00:04:19
junk food and
the all-American dream car.00:04:23
A difficult war to win
in a country where the beads00:04:26
are proud of
the new obese community.00:04:29
A difficult war to win
in hamburger country.00:04:37
He plugs into the village
upstate New York.00:04:46
At thirteen, Brandon weighs 82 kilos.00:04:51
That's my room.00:04:52
It's 32 kilos too much
compared to a child of his age.00:04:57
- This is where I listen to my music.00:04:59
That's my robot.
It's broken, I have to fix it.00:05:05
I have my electric guitar
and I also have an acoustic.00:05:14
Because of his obesity, Brandon does not live
already more like the other children.00:05:19
This is my little cup
for my medication.00:05:23
- What kind of medicine
do you take?00:05:25
- That's a laxative
to go to the toilet.00:05:31
Pathological inflammation of the intestines,
but also asthma, narcolepsy,00:05:36
heartburn and chronic migraines.00:05:39
Direct consequences
of his overweight and lifestyle.00:05:44
Everyone in the Moth family is fat.00:05:48
John, the father, who rarely eats at the table.00:05:52
Tammy, the mother, 100 kilos
and Wendy, the sister, fifteen.00:05:58
They are on a diet and yet
on the menu today is pasta salad00:06:01
with cheese with salami and ham.00:06:07
- I am not an exemplary cook.00:06:10
I love to cook in abundance.00:06:13
I tend to serve
big portions, including for me.00:06:20
So I would say that's a problem
that affects the whole family.00:06:25
Brandon started gaining weight when
his older brother died three years ago.00:06:35
Obesity has already claimed a victim
in the Moth family.00:06:39
Brandon's older brother
died in 2008.00:06:43
His name was Eric.00:06:48
- Here is a picture of Eric
when he was big.00:06:54
There, he must have been twelve or thirteen years old.00:06:59
I have always fed my children well,
especially for birthdays.00:07:03
I always made them big cakes.00:07:07
Eric weighed 110 kilos
when he fell ill.00:07:09
A disease that attacks cells.00:07:12
A disease directly linked to his obesity.00:07:16
- It took some time
to realize that he was ill.00:07:19
And finally, we got him
diagnosed with a cellular disease.00:07:24
He ended up in a wheelchair.00:07:27
We fed him with a tube
to his death.00:07:30
- How old was he?00:07:31
- He was 18, 18 when he died.00:07:37
At the end of his short life,
Eric weighed only 60 kilograms.00:07:42
Since Brandon, the youngest,
also started to grow00:07:46
mom is worried.00:07:51
Doctors fear that Brandon
develops the same disease as his brother.00:07:58
You have to watch what he eats.00:08:00
Monitor your blood pressure and make sure
to do more exercises.00:08:08
If he doesn't want to get sick,
Brandon absolutely must lose weight.00:08:12
So his mother decided to send him
in a fitness center.00:08:16
not like the others.00:08:20
3 hours from New York City,
in the countryside, Camp Shane.00:08:26
It's the big day for Brandon.00:08:30
More than 500 young people go through
this fitness camp every summer.00:08:34
They are between 8 and 21 years old and come here
for a minimum stay of three weeks.00:08:41
Upon arrival, all participants
pass behind this curtain.00:08:46
- What's your first name ?
- My name is Brandon.00:08:48
- Come on, get on the scale.00:08:50
Brandon weighs 82 kilograms, or 181 pounds.00:08:55
- You can come down
we will take your measurements.00:08:58
Stand straight.00:09:02
Neck circumference, 38 cm.00:09:04
Chest, 106 cm.00:09:07
We weigh and measure them every week00:09:11
like that at the end of the course, they will know
how much and where they lost weight.00:09:21
It's a matter of life or death for Brandon.00:09:23
If he doesn't lose weight,
he will fall ill like his brother.00:09:29
Brandon's goal is to lose
at least seven kilos in three weeks.00:09:37
For Janaya Clark too.00:09:39
Losing weight is a chance
to extend their life expectancy.00:09:42
At fifteen, the teenager originally
of the Bronx, in New York, is already more00:09:47
heavier than his mother.00:09:52
- I am happy to be here,
but I'm still a little nervous.00:10:00
Since his early childhood,
Janaya never stopped growing.00:10:03
Here she hopes to lose weight
for the first time in his life.00:10:10
- How tall are you?
- 1m66!00:10:12
Come on, get on the scale!00:10:18
- Stand up straight and don't move!00:10:21
261 pounds, or 118 kilos.00:10:25
Janaya is classified in the category
so-called morbidly obese.00:10:29
At fifteen, she is already pre-diabetic00:10:32
and will surely suffer00:10:33
cardiovascular diseases in the future
if she does not lose weight quickly.00:10:42
- My objective, or rather my challenge,
is to lose 30 pounds, about 15 kilos.00:10:50
I feel that it is time for me to evolve.00:10:58
I'm going to have a lot of problems
of health because of my overweight.00:11:03
This camp will help me a lot.00:11:16
Parents hope to see
their daughter in three weeks00:11:19
with a few pounds less.00:11:23
- She says she wants to lose fourteen pounds.00:11:27
- If she loses 10 or even 7 kilos,
I would be happy.00:11:31
- 7 kg!00:11:33
You know she still has
gained 5 kilos recently?00:11:42
At the start of the course, all participants00:11:44
go to the photo studio in a swimsuit.00:11:47
A photo to remember what
they looked like arriving here.00:11:52
This experience is meant
transform their body.00:11:58
5 hours of sport minimum per day.00:12:01
Intransigent coaches.00:12:11
A strict diet
with vegetables and reasonable portions.00:12:31
Three weeks of sweat.00:12:33
Three weeks of tears.00:12:37
Three weeks to exceed its limits.00:12:46
There is America who wants
lose weight at all costs00:12:48
and the one who is proud of her plumpness.00:12:54
In San Francisco, an obese community
was created around a simple idea:00:12:58
We can be fat and happy between fat people.00:13:06
At 36, Tygress Osborne loves
its curves and its rolls.00:13:10
She doesn't care how much
pounds she gained last month.00:13:16
- I weigh about 115 kilos,
but I'm not sure.00:13:20
I don't have a scale at home.00:13:22
I think it's very bad
for health to obsess over one's weight.00:13:26
And this obesity epidemic story,
it revolts me!00:13:29
Because if you stigmatize the fat ones,00:13:31
it's even more difficult
for them to have a healthy life.00:13:34
It's very embarrassing for a fat
to exercise00:13:37
because everyone will laugh
of this fat body that moves.00:13:41
When the whole society explains to you
that your body is not normal00:13:45
it's a real fight to know how to say,00:13:47
No. Everything is fine.
I do what I want with my body.00:13:50
I have the right not to be like everyone else.00:13:55
Tygress is an obese rights activist.00:13:58
His credo: Big is beautiful.00:14:01
An obese woman can be beautiful and glamorous.00:14:03
And that's what she wants to prove
to the people of San Francisco.00:14:09
Tygress Osborne is mostly00:14:11
known in San Francisco,
in the small world of the night.00:14:15
For three years, she has been organizing
evenings reserved for fat people.00:14:18
The rendezvous of what has become
a small obese community.00:14:27
- Come on have a blast!00:14:29
See you later on the track.00:14:36
Almost 200 people come here
every Friday night dancing to hip hop.00:14:45
And tonight is miniskirt night.00:14:51
- Come on, show us your legs!00:14:54
There you go, that's a miniskirt party.00:14:57
Most people who come here
never go to other clubs.00:15:01
They come here because they know
that they are welcome.00:15:04
They don't have to worry about other people's eyes
and thoughts like:00:15:07
You're too fat
why do you wear this kind of clothes?00:15:11
Here you are not just accepted.00:15:13
You are the ideal woman.00:15:17
- I came here to have fun.00:15:19
To meet the most beautiful
women of the world.00:15:21
Because you beautiful fat women
we love you all.00:15:26
- I came here to meet
women, real women,00:15:29
not the big ones as they say, but real women.00:15:32
The waistline, who cares.00:15:46
- There are too many people who think that fat people
are inactive, that they are lazy.00:15:50
I am unable to tell you00:15:51
if there are people here who have cholesterol,
heart problems or high blood pressure.00:15:55
I do not care. Me, what I know,
is that they are not lazy.00:15:59
Watch how they move, they dance,
they sweat.00:16:02
Inside their little community00:16:04
the obese feel liberated.00:16:06
With the risk also of locking oneself in
in a world where being fat is better.00:16:14
The aftermath of the evening,00:16:16
Tygress never misses her lunch
Saturday in this restaurant.00:16:21
This is called here
a barbecue restaurant.00:16:27
We are at Everett & Jones.00:16:29
This is one of the best barbecue places in downtown Oakland.00:16:34
I come very often because
the food is really good.00:16:39
Tygress can't imagine living
with a wasp waist.00:16:42
Even less go on a diet.00:16:43
So she takes care of her line in her own way.00:16:46
- I'll take the spare ribs.00:16:50
It is a typically copious meal,
typically American.00:17:00
On the menu, a pint of beer00:17:02
and no less than eight pork ribs00:17:04
barbecue sauce with sweet potatoes
cooked in butter and sugar.00:17:08
- The size of the dish is representative
portions that we eat in the United States.00:17:15
It must represent the nutritional intake
of three meals.00:17:26
Since his early childhood, Tygress has never
stopped gaining weight.00:17:30
115 kilos at 36 years old
and no worries for the future.00:17:43
- This meal is not good for your health,00:17:45
but it is a meal for the pleasure of eating.00:17:48
- But you are not afraid to develop
illnesses related to your overweight?00:17:54
- I already have high blood pressure.00:17:56
I take medication
every day for that.00:17:58
I'm sure my doctor would say
that it is related to my overweight,00:18:02
but I don't think so!
I think it's because of stress at work.00:18:06
So yes, this kind of disease worries me.00:18:09
But I don't attribute them to my weight.00:18:13
A box, please!00:18:22
Tygress rejects scientific evidence
known for decades.00:18:26
Big may be Beautiful,00:18:28
but every day, 1100 people die in
United States of obesity-related diseases.00:18:40
Return to Camp Shane.00:18:45
The music from the movie Rocky sounds.00:18:47
It's 9 o'clock in the morning.00:18:49
A long day
sports activities begin.00:18:52
Except for Brandon who refuses
to leave his bungalow.00:19:03
- Hello ? We have Brandon who has a migraine.00:19:06
Are there nurses in the gym?00:19:12
Brandon, do you see where the gym is?00:19:15
The nurses have medicine for you.00:19:19
Go old man!00:19:23
- Do you often have migraines?
- Yes !00:19:26
- And why?
- I do not know.00:19:30
Usually my mom gives me medicine
and it relieves me immediately.00:19:35
But she's not here to take care of me.00:19:42
Obesity is a well-known factor
worsening of migraines.00:19:48
A good majority of children here
are prone to migraines.00:19:53
We have at least one a week.00:20:07
Janaya, she's at the pool.00:20:10
Today, mandatory swimming test.00:20:18
- The test is simple. We want to know if
you can swim in the deep waters.00:20:23
If you get there,
you will have the right to go00:20:25
jet skiing or water skiing.00:20:30
Every teenager must be able to swim 50 meters,
2 pool lengths.00:20:38
Janaya can swim, but very fast
his corpulence handicaps him.00:20:50
- She says she has cramps.00:20:52
It can happen to anyone,
but she's probably tired.00:20:58
She failed to swim
more than fifteen meters.00:21:01
- What's going on Janaya?
- I have a leg cramp.00:21:08
- Try massaging your thigh.00:21:13
- I'm going to take a break.
This time, I give up.00:21:17
I'd rather take it easy in the pool.00:21:20
- You mustn't hurt yourself.00:21:22
- Yes that's it.
I don't want to push my body too much.00:21:25
- No that's not it.
To surpass yourself is very good.00:21:28
You just have to take
precautions so as not to hurt yourself.00:21:31
So go stretch.00:21:39
- Climbing.00:21:42
Janaya does not seem determined to provide
great physical exertion.00:21:53
- My muscles leave me there.
I can not stand it anymore. My arms hurt too much.00:22:00
I can't. We stop.00:22:15
In climbing as in running,
it's always the same story.00:22:25
Janaya is systematically
the first to throw in the towel,00:22:28
always with pain as an excuse.00:22:33
- I'm in great pain, really bad.00:22:40
The click will happen a few days later,
with the speaking group.00:22:47
This is where we talk about his complexes
and his problems with food.00:22:51
A former obese, Kika, leads the session.00:22:59
- What is your personal story?
- My story?00:23:02
I ate in secret.00:23:05
I hid food in my room,
under my pillow.00:23:12
Under my bed there were heaps
trash and food wrappers.00:23:16
Sometimes my parents took everything out
from my room and showed me this pile of garbage.00:23:23
Fast food leftovers,
crisps, cans of soda.00:23:28
Everything you can imagine.00:23:32
And my mother said to me: "Look!"
I said: "But what are you doing?"00:23:37
Get out of my room!
- What are you looking for in my house?00:23:41
I was on the defensive.00:23:44
I didn't want to acknowledge that I had to change.00:23:47
I was going to the fast food at the end of my street
as soon as I had 5 bucks on me.00:23:52
I spent everything down to the last penny
to buy me two double cheeseburgers,00:23:56
fries and ice cream.00:24:04
I didn't care about calories.00:24:07
I liked it too much and I gobbled them up.00:24:12
The restaurant is near my house.
Two minutes by car, no more.00:24:18
I threw the packaging in the garbage cans of my neighbors,00:24:21
I was returning home
and I had dinner with my family right after.00:24:29
I ate, I lied and I hid.00:24:35
Kika shows the group what
she looked like three years ago.00:24:49
At 22, she weighed 126 kilos.
She lost 56.00:24:59
- Eat right, exercise
and never give up.00:25:06
Every day is a chance
to change everything in your life.00:25:12
- She is a good example for you.00:25:14
- A good example? That's an understatement.00:25:17
This girl is a miracle.00:25:22
Today, I weigh as much as she before.00:25:26
So I tell myself that I too can do it.00:25:31
This meeting will transform Janaya.00:25:35
Today she knows he is
possible to lose 50 pounds.00:25:38
But to get there, you will have to fight
and above all change your diet.00:25:47
Difficult in a country where the big chains
have 80% of the restaurant market.00:25:52
Industrial pizza, fried chicken,
Mexican tacos, ice cream and sodas,00:25:57
without forgetting the unbeatable
hamburger fries.00:26:07
In the United States, three out of four children
eat at least once a week00:26:11
this kind of food
very high in calories.00:26:20
Now, when you buy a menu,
you win a "goosebumps" toy00:26:25
All brands without exception
attract young consumers by offering them00:26:29
toys each time they visit.00:26:35
The force is with "Star Wars" toys
in your children's menu!00:26:43
Today, one in three American children
is overweight, one in five is obese.00:26:51
In San Francisco, the town hall
decided to react.00:26:56
The first deputy mayor,
declared war on junk food.00:27:01
He takes us to a hamburger chain
as there are hundreds of them in the United States.00:27:06
According to him, restaurant chains
attract young children00:27:10
by offering them toys with their menus.00:27:12
- Hello, can I have
a children's menu, please?00:27:16
What toy is on offer right now?
Ah, the Smurfs!00:27:22
The children are fully aware
movies that are showing.00:27:25
They know when derivative toys
are available in restaurants.00:27:29
They are alerted by
advertisements on television.00:27:32
- And these are collections?
- Yes, these are collectible toys.00:27:36
And so they come back.00:27:40
There is a study that was done by
Yale University which shows00:27:44
that a majority of kindergarten children
ask their parents every day00:27:48
to go to this kind of restaurant.
Academics call it the power of harassment.00:27:56
My children, for example,
always start by unpacking the toy.00:28:01
Meals are secondary.00:28:07
This little toy, fast food
no longer have the right to sell it00:28:11
in San Francisco in a few weeks00:28:14
if the meal they offer
to children is not more dietary.00:28:21
A law that prohibits toys in children's menus,
a first in the United States.00:28:26
A law that provoked anger
catering industry.00:28:31
Eric Marre says he was under a lot of pressure
during the preparation and the vote of the law00:28:36
and that even in his office.00:28:42
- The number one burger
sent lawyers from New York.00:28:46
They settled here, in my office,
and not just anyone.00:28:49
Their lawyers are celebrities from the bar.
There was even the vice president of the group.00:28:54
And in this office, they said to me:00:28:56
“We will sue you in court.
if you dare pass this law.00:29:00
Then, the representatives of this industry
hired lobbyists and they tried00:29:04
to twist everybody's arm.00:29:05
They went door to door
among city councillors,00:29:09
threatened them, asked people
influential in the city to call00:29:13
city councilors
for them to change their minds.00:29:15
They did what they could to prevent
this law obtains a majority in the municipal council.00:29:21
In the battle, Eric Marre loses
weight support,00:29:24
The mayor of San Francisco himself,
Gavin Newsom.00:29:28
A suprise.
The mayor had campaigned against junk food.00:29:31
He turns his jacket around at the last moment.00:29:34
- Here is the official mail.00:29:36
I vote against the law prohibiting
toys in restaurants.00:29:40
I think this law interferes way too much
in private sector policy.00:29:47
Despite this about-face, the municipal council
of San Francisco passes the law at a00:29:52
overwhelming majority, against the advice of the mayor.00:30:00
Very quickly, this legislation was taken up
by other major cities in the United States.00:30:05
First New York.00:30:10
- The town hall declares war
to fast food.00:30:13
- I will soon present a project
law that will ban restaurants.00:30:17
to offer a toy that would encourage
children to buy a meal or a drink00:30:22
which does not meet the standards
dietetics indicated in the law.00:30:26
New York, but also Santa Clara,
several Midwestern towns00:30:30
and even the State of California is working
on similar regulations.00:30:37
In the summer of 2011, the world's leading hamburger
replicates and announces a new child menu.00:30:45
Less fries, one fruit
and milk instead of soda.00:30:52
The brand also promises to limit
advertising aimed at young children.00:31:01
In Washington, the powerful union
restaurants is on the move.00:31:05
He convinced 19 other major chains of
offer more dietetic meals to children.00:31:10
Objective: Take the lead
and dissuade cities from voting00:31:14
banning toys from menus.00:31:17
- We think it's up to the parents to decide
what their children can eat00:31:21
and what toys they can have fun with.00:31:25
This is certainly not the role of politicians
to decide for them what they eat00:31:30
let alone choose children's toys.00:31:35
That's the parents' responsibility!00:31:38
We are completely against the law
boycotting toys in our restaurants.00:31:43
There are not even serious scientific studies
which show that remove toys00:31:47
in the children's menus would have a
any impact on the obesity epidemic.00:31:55
Junk food is not the only culprit.00:31:58
If America is obese,
America also owes it to its way of life.00:32:04
In the Midwest, Oklahoma City,
ranked in the top five cities in the United States00:32:08
where the obese are the most numerous.00:32:12
Here, we never walk, we drive.00:32:15
The whole car is a bit like the American dream.00:32:19
The city center is deserted by pedestrians.00:32:21
In some neighborhoods there are not even sidewalks.00:32:26
Like all citizens of Oklahoma City,
Republican Mayor Mick Cornett00:32:31
has to take his car
on each of his trips.00:32:37
- The human body is made for walking.
It was designed for action.00:32:41
But in Oklahoma City, as in many
American cities, everything revolves around the car.00:32:46
If you want to eat at home, at home,
you have to take the car, go to the supermarket,00:32:51
shopping, wearing them,
put them in the trunk, get back in his car,00:32:55
go home, get out of the car,
carry your groceries and finally cook.00:33:01
Or you go to the drive-in without getting out of the car
and that seriously aggravates obesity problems.00:33:08
75% of Americans walk
less than 30 minutes per week.00:33:13
All infrastructure
are designed for the car.00:33:16
Even the most unexpected.00:33:19
- In Oklahoma City, everything is planned
never to get out of the car.00:33:23
We can even go to the bank
to withdraw money.00:33:29
And here are the dollars.00:33:33
Oklahoma City has a million people,
one in three is obese.00:33:38
Mick Cornett decided to put
its administered on the diet, as he says.00:33:42
And to encourage them to leave their car in the garage,
he launched the major works in the city center.00:33:48
- Hello how are you?
- Hello mister mayor.00:33:51
Are the works progressing?
Great project, right?00:33:58
We don't just spend millions,
not even tens of millions00:34:01
we invest hundreds of millions of dollars
to rebuild all the infrastructure00:34:05
from the city center so that the citizens of this
city become pedestrians.00:34:09
We will significantly improve
their quality of life.00:34:14
Mick cornett will create 110 kilometers
of sidewalks in the city center by 2017.00:34:20
And to invite the inhabitants
to exercise more,00:34:23
the mayor introduces an innovation
revolutionary in Oklahoma City.00:34:29
- Here, we created a sidewalk with trees,
a public parking area.00:34:33
And here is the big news,
bicycle lane.00:34:37
So you will tell me, it's brand new
and there is no bike today.00:34:40
First, it is very hot.00:34:43
Today it is 41 degrees.00:34:46
The second reason is that residents of Oklahoma City
are not used to riding a bicycle.00:34:51
But today, there are infrastructures,
so little by little you will see here00:34:55
more and more cyclists.00:35:00
Mick cornett believes it will take at least
ten years to his fellow citizens00:35:04
to change their bad habits.00:35:06
But even if we transform the city centers
with hundreds of millions of dollars00:35:11
obesity is first and foremost a disease
poor neighborhoods,00:35:14
the disease of those who inhabit what one
call them food deserts.00:35:19
In white, on this map, the areas where
buying fruits and vegetables is impossible.00:35:24
And food deserts, there are even some
in the middle of cities00:35:28
the richest in the country, like New York.00:35:32
Sandra McLean takes us around the neighborhood
of Brownsville, Brooklyn.00:35:37
A poor district classified as desert
food by the US administration.00:35:43
- When you have to go more than a kilometer
and a half to find fresh fruits and vegetables,00:35:48
the neighborhood is classified as a food desert like here.00:35:55
In this neighborhood, people are poor,
often and do not have a car.00:36:00
They don't have money to take the metro,
to buy fresh produce.00:36:05
Here we come to an intersection
typical of a food desert00:36:10
with Burger King Shaker's, Wendy's.00:36:15
In a food desert, there is always
fast food because you can eat cheap there,00:36:20
4 euros per meal.00:36:23
Sandra McLean advocates for improvement
access to fresh produce in00:36:26
this poor neighborhood where to take
weight is almost a fate.00:36:31
In Brownsville, there are 35% diabetics
and 40% obese.00:36:36
When we live here, we have the choice between
order pizza and burgers00:36:41
or go in what
are called bodegas.00:36:48
On the shelves, sodas, crisps,
sweets, charcuterie00:36:52
and sandwiches not
really healthy.00:36:56
The boss explains.00:37:01
- People in the neighborhood would buy
vegetables if you sell them?00:37:04
- No, people don't buy vegetables here.00:37:06
I try to sell some from time to time, but I'm
have to throw them away. People don't buy.00:37:11
What did you sell for example?00:37:15
- Oranges, apples.00:37:20
-That's kind of the problem here.00:37:22
There was a fair organic first
in front of my house before.00:37:25
But it had to close two years ago
because people weren't buying.00:37:31
The organic primeur has been replaced
by a fried chicken restaurant.00:37:35
More practical and above all
cheaper than fresh produce.00:37:40
Fruits and vegetables came out
eating habits.00:37:44
So Sandra McLean and her association created
a vegetable garden between two buildings in the district.00:37:51
Here, there are real tomatoes that the
Brownsville children come to farm.00:38:03
Mickael and his comrades have planted
most of these vegetables themselves.00:38:06
Today is the harvest.00:38:20
In the heart of the economic capital of the country,
these children had never seen vegetables in their lives.00:38:26
- Are there vegetables here that
you had never seen before?00:38:32
- I saw ...00:38:36
tomatoes.00:38:40
- But it was the first time that you saw some?00:38:43
- Yes, tomatoes and peppers too.00:38:53
- This is a real tragedy.00:38:56
It's really unfair that in a country
where there is so much wealth,00:39:02
that there can be a population
who remains in ignorance00:39:07
and who does not have the opportunity to access
to healthy food.00:39:14
Sandra McLean's vegetable garden,
it's a bit of a parenthesis.00:39:18
Children learn the names of plants,
cultivate them, cook them and finally taste them.00:39:23
An extraordinary experience.00:39:36
- Enjoy your meal !00:39:49
- Do you think it's okay
change your life to come here?00:39:52
- Yes, it will change my bad
habits with junk food.00:39:55
I will never eat again
bad food.00:40:07
At Camp Shane, last week,
last straight line for Brandon.00:40:13
To succeed in dominating his body,
the teenager must gain self-confidence.00:40:18
- So Brandon, we'll ride you
on the platform and you will have to00:40:21
cross to the other tree
balanced on the wire.00:40:25
Then you take the zipline
and we'll pick you up downstairs.00:40:37
Fifteen meters high,
the monitors are responsible for00:40:40
to push Brandon
in its entrenchments.00:40:43
A test for the nerves.00:40:46
- I try but I can't.
- If you can do it.00:40:49
- I can't. I'm too afraid.00:40:54
- That's good, go on, breathe.00:41:01
Keep your arms horizontal
to stabilize you.00:41:05
- Oh, I'm shaking!00:41:09
- He is learning
to exceed its limits.00:41:12
He is learning to have
trust in him and in us with the ropes.00:41:16
That's the point of experience.00:41:25
- I remain calm and move forward.00:41:46
- It's awesome !00:41:49
Where am I going there?00:41:55
I'm still shaking.00:41:57
Look! My hand is shaking
this thing returned to me.00:42:03
At the end of the day, Brandon will know how much
of kilos he lost after three weeks of effort.00:42:09
- How do you feel?
- Strong!00:42:16
Janaya, she has completely
changed attitude.00:42:19
She no longer lowers her arms
at the first pains.00:42:22
- Get down, we get down well I said!00:42:25
At Camp Shane, everyone dreads
the aerobics class and especially Salim,00:42:29
the reputedly intractable professor.00:42:32
- Why are you stopping?
The clock is still ticking.00:42:35
Since that's it, I'm putting it back
the counter to zero.00:42:38
You take it back for a minute!00:42:40
Salim Djemaï was himself
obese in childhood.00:42:42
He has no mood
to shake up his students.00:42:46
- I know exactly how they think.00:42:48
They drop before
even to have started.00:42:52
They must believe in themselves.
They can do it, they can all do it.00:42:59
The problem is that it's just
inscribed in their skulls,00:43:02
that they suck
and they will never get there.00:43:05
But that's not true.00:43:13
I will not let you go.
Go to the end of the exercise.00:43:23
- How are you Janaya?
- It's horrible !00:43:51
- We move otherwise
you take it back for a minute!00:44:04
I don't want to see your feet touching the ground.00:44:07
Janaya will not escape
the severity of the coach.00:44:11
- It's good ! It's good !00:44:15
Why are you giving up? Finish what you
have started!00:44:22
Push, push!.00:44:24
One again !00:44:26
- Oh my legs!00:44:30
- Come on, there are 30 seconds left,
I want you to make me five.00:44:40
One again.00:44:44
Go ahead ! Six is great.00:44:47
Seven ! Eight !00:44:55
So how are you feeling now?
- I feel good.00:45:04
- You had already endured
such pain before?00:45:07
- No way
but it's worth the pain.00:45:14
Well done Janaya!00:45:24
End of internship for Janaya, Brandon
and the other 500 participants.00:45:31
It's the hour of truth.
Time to step on the scale.00:45:37
Brandon weighed 82 kilos when he arrived,
or 181 pounds.00:45:45
- You now weigh 78 kilos.
You have lost four kilos.00:45:48
- I lost four kilos.
- That's what you wanted ?00:45:52
- Yes, it's a good start.00:45:57
- Well done Brandon!00:46:01
Janaya wanted to lose weight
fifteen pounds in three weeks.00:46:05
She did her calculations.
She is convinced to have lost at least ten.00:46:10
She struggles to hide her disappointment.00:46:17
- Are you happy Janaya?
- I'm still proud of myself.00:46:21
- In total, Janaya lost six kilos
in three weeks, which is really good.00:46:27
- I thought I had lost ten kilos.
I was told I was ten pounds lost.00:46:31
- You weighed 118 kilos when you arrived.
Today you are at 112.00:46:38
- Is it far from the goal you set for yourself?00:46:40
- Yeah, but it's better than nothing.00:46:47
It's the end of the test.
Everyone goes home.00:46:50
Reunion with the family.00:46:55
- I lost six kilos.00:46:58
- Good game !00:47:01
She has changed, her face is thinner.
Look at this belly.00:47:07
You feel better?
- Yes.00:47:17
- How much did you lose then?
- I lost four kilos.00:47:20
- Really?
- I lost five centimeters from my waist.00:47:26
Even my neck has shrunk.00:47:30
Look, I lost a bit
of my double chin.00:47:34
- Unbelievable !00:47:37
5 centimeters around the chest.00:47:40
- Did you see? I lost boobs too.00:47:46
- I missed you so much, my darling.00:47:50
He has really changed.
We see it right away.00:47:54
I think that experience gave him back
confidence in him and that he will be able00:47:58
go ahead now.00:48:00
I so wish he
start playing football.00:48:03
Before, he thought he couldn't.
Today it is possible.00:48:07
I'm really happy.00:48:11
The most difficult is yet to come.00:48:13
Go home, avoid falling back into the
junk food, exercise and keep believing.00:48:20
A month after our shoot, Brandon
played in a soccer team00:48:23
and had lost another eight kilos.00:48:27
For Janaya it is more complicated.
His weight has stabilized.00:48:31
She fights every day
so as not to gain weight.Description:
In the United States, 67% of adults and almost a third of children are obese or overweight. A disease that kills 400,000 people every year in the country. America eats too much and, for the first time in a developed country, scientists announce a drop in life expectancy. The problem is so serious that Michelle Obama, the President's wife, decided to put her fellow citizens on a diet. Throughout the country, summer camps for overweight children are opened. The Mayors reorganize their city to put an end to the reign of "all cars" and to make their constituents work. Elected officials also dare to attack the restaurant industry to force it to offer more dietetic menus, especially for children. But the United States is also the country of uninhibited kilos. In New York, a very special fast food restaurant is provocative. The "Heart Attack Grill", a heart attack restaurant, serves a one-kilo burger, the caloric equivalent of 8 meals. There are also nightclubs reserved for overweight people who assume their XXL size perfectly. If obesity is very expensive for American society, it is also a flourishing market of 47 billion dollars… Directed by Romain Bolzinger Editing by Franck Zahler
