The BBC’s program “The Big Fat Truth about Low Fat Foods”. A minor celebrity eats nothing but processed low fat junk to see the results. Bit scary at the beginning when she has a party and all her friends have full dominos pizza’s each!!! Thought they were meant to be for sharing.
At least she sort of understands the “once you pop, you can’t stop” effect of eating high carbohydrate, low fat chemical ridden foods which are making her eat more than she normally would (perfect for food industry profits).
A few facts from the program:
