O joyful light of the heavenly glory of the everlasting Father which is in heaven, holy and blessed, Jesus Christ our Lord. We are come unto the going down of the sun, and at eventide we have seen light. Therefore we give thanks and praise to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit of God. Worthy art thou at all times to be praised with holy voices, Son of God, giver of life: therefore doth the world glorify thee. Amen

Programme written and produced by Nesta Pain

Why do some people grow fat and others remain thin on an almost identical diet? This is still something of a mystery, in spite of many attempts to find out the causes of obesity. What is certain, however, is that obesity can be controlled and corrected. This programme records some of the experiments that have been carried out, explodes some popular fallacies, and gives an outline of the facts about diet, weight, and exercise.
