Brass Tacks Reports

on BBC Two England

Creaming the Fat
Reporter David Henshaw
Slimming is Britain's number one participation sport-and by far the most futile: almost all the weight we lose we put back on again.
Brass Tacks reports on the £300-million industry that thrives on the fear of fat. In Reading a cross-section of slimming addicts are filmed undergoing everything from jaw wiring to stomach stapling. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the very latest techniques include electric shock therapy for cake addicts, and balloons that inflate in stomach. Director JULIET MAY
