Shocking anti-obesity advert will make you think twice about your eating habits - VIDEO
A shocking public health video aimed at tackling obesity shows how a parent's influence can lead to a lifetime of unhealthy eating and, ultimately, have potentially fateful outcomes.The video, released by the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, works its way backwards from the moment Jim is taken into hospital after suffering a heart attack at the age of 32.The video, taken from Jim's point of view, shows doctors inspecting him as he lies on the hospital bed, struggling to breathe, weighing 300lb.'How the hell does that happen?' asks one of the doctors, before a series of shots rewinds to Jim's childhood to show how a lifetime of bad choices was started with one made by his mother.The video shows Jim at various stages in his life eating unhealthy foods and sitting around watching television or playing computer games. The short-film however goes back to Jim's childhood to show how his unhealthy eating habits were in fact precipitated by his parents - various scenes show his mother feeding him sugary breakfast cereals and even French fries as a baby. The video is aimed at teaching parents to instil healthy eating habits into their children at a young age.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
