China’s Obesity Crisis | The Rise of a New Epidemic
Stars: Gwenlaouen Le Gouil, Doctors, Nutritionists, Health Experts
Genre: Documentary / Current Affairs / Society
Country: France
Language: English
Also Known As: China’s Big Problem: The Rise of Obesity
Filming Location: China
Synopsis:
After decades in which food scarcity and famine shaped everyday life, China is facing a very different problem: rising obesity and the health consequences of a rapidly changing lifestyle.
This documentary travels across China to investigate how economic development has transformed the country's eating habits. Traditional diets are increasingly being replaced by Western-style fast food, larger portions, and foods high in fat and sugar, while more sedentary lifestyles are contributing to a dramatic increase in obesity.
The film looks particularly at younger generations, where obesity has become an increasingly visible concern, while exploring the social and economic forces behind this transformation. Doctors, nutritionists, and other experts examine the consequences of China's changing relationship with food and the challenges facing a country that has moved from scarcity to overconsumption within a few generations.
The documentary also investigates the measures being taken to combat the problem, from television programs and smartphone applications to weight-loss initiatives and government campaigns designed to encourage healthier lifestyles.
