Aborigines help fat teens survive on TV - Telegraph
Extract:
"Obese British teenagers will have to spear wallabies, trap lizards and skin snakes when they go hunting with Aborigines in a new BBC reality television show.
Drawing on 40,000 years of knowledge, Aborigines will teach 10 overweight young Britons how to survive on bush tucker in the series Fat Teens Can't Hunt.
The participants will have to swap burgers, chips and pizzas for lizards, mangrove worms and charred kangaroo. If they fail to find food in the wild, they will go hungry.
The programme, due to start filming in the Northern Territory in August, will feature five boys and five girls, aged 16 to 19. The six one-hour episodes are expected to be screened later this year or early next year."
Well, if these young people live on the food they catch, they will lose weight, because fresh food contains only low concentrations of salt/sodium. - I hope they are not going to be given salt to use in cooking it!
The production team clearly think that increased exercise will help the young people to become less obese. - It won't. - Obesity in children and young people is almost always caused by eating food with too much salt in it. - They can easily lose excess weight (which is actually fluid retention) by eating less salt, and, preferably, plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables.
Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
