"The fast-food industry is providing what people want," said James Painter, chair of Eastern Illinois University's School of Family and Consumer Sciences. "It's people's choices that are making them fat." To prove his point, two graduate students ate fast-food for a month. They made healthier choices with portions suitable to their body types and both ended up losing weight and lowering their cholesterol. Viewers will learn how they did it, comparing calories, portion sizes, extras and thinking "outside the bun" for healthier choices.
