*"I'm not obese, I just have heavy bones!"*

*It's a sad irony that while half of the world is dying of hunger, the
other half -- our half -- is trying desperately to lose weight. Obesity
is a western lifestyle disorder that is now having serious effects even
on young people.

Its causes and its alleviation will be discussed In Conversation with
Noel Cheer on Triangle/Stratos Television with Professor Barry Taylor,
the head of the Department of Women's and Children's Health at the
University of Otago.
