America The Beautiful 2: The Thin Commandments

This documentary delves into America's obsession with dieting and the flawed BMI scale. It critiques the prevailing narrative of the so-called obesity epidemic and highlights the multitude of factors contributing to body dissatisfaction. Through the lens of experts like Deepak Chopra and others, Roberts investigates how societal influences—including medical professionals, educational institutions, and government figures—shape our perceptions of health and body image.

Roberts also critically examines the push for weight loss surgeries and fad diets, as well as the societal fear of fat. He raises the question of whether it is indeed possible to achieve health at various sizes and weights, challenging viewers to reassess their beliefs about body image and wellness. The film's exploration of these topics makes it relevant for those interested in health, nutrition, and societal norms around body image.
