Four Corners Fat Chance
We know the problem. More Australians are fat and they're getting fatter. What no one can agree on is how to stop an epidemic that's threatening to make the next generation less healthy than the one before. Everyone agrees that one part of the answer is to exercise more. What's less clear is how people can be encouraged to eat a healthier diet. On one side, public health advocates say food companies must reduce the levels of fat, salt and sugar they put in their products. On the other side, many believe diet is a personal responsibility way beyond Government regulation.
Four Corners is Australia's premier television current affairs program. It has been part of the Australian story since August 1961, exposing scandals, triggering inquiries, firing debate, confronting taboos and interpreting fads, trends and sub-cultures. Its consistently high standards of journalism and film-making have earned international recognition and an array of Walkleys, Logies and other national awards.
