I watched this documentary series since I'm interested in the subject. But even though it does indeed contain some research about obesity, it's mostly an activist production. It begins every episode with "we have to take action", basically assuming that obesity is a problem that only the government and taxpayer money can solve. A personal responsibility aspect is sorely absent.
The worst part of it all was at the end of episode four, when you had this Hispanic community where no one spoke English patting themselves on their backs for having managed to get their local government to pay for a park for their children to play in. That was a "difference they made". If they had raised the money themselves, I would have empathized, but how is it the least bit difficult to beg the government for money? They didn't have to do anything at all.
So if you believe in personal responsibility, this series does leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.
