Viewing Notes

KILLER AT LARGE is certainly comprehensive in its attempt to dissect the obesity epidimic, to the point that it becomes a bit exhausting.

To its credit, it examines just about every conveivable social angle that provoked the rise in obesity, but isn’t so detailed in the physical causes, but I suppose if it had it would’ve been even more exhausting. The doco addresses a lot of elements that other ones skip out on, but it just needed a heavier editing hand and condensation of material.
