Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
The Government is updating its familiar food pyramid.
We're again being urged to slash calories and exercise up to 90-minutes a day.
The dietary guidelines are meant to "nudge" food-makers toward providing "healthier" choices -- amid an obesity epidemic fueled by a steady diet of fast food.
So, what would happen if you ate only fast food for a month?
New York City filmmaker Morgan Spurlock aimed to find out.
He wrote, directed and starred in the popular documentary "Super Size Me."
Chip Neal caught up with the film-maker during a visit at the University of New Hampsire.

Despite doctors warnings Spurlock continued his experiment and saw his blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels jump.
He also gained 25 pounds.
Spurlock tried to contact McDonalds throughout the film --but, they declined comment.
script iconIntro Obesity
Return to index of stories...
While "Super Size Me" brings the problem of obesity into the theaters -- the Surgeon General is bringing awareness of the epidemic to the general public and the health care community.
Dr. Richard Carmona says obesity will soon pass tobacco as the country's leading cause of preventable deaths.
And, now the hefty problem has trickled down to our children.
According to a study released in late 2004, 1in 5 N-H school children is overweight or obese -- and just as many are at-risk of becoming overweight.
Chip Neal was in Bedford when Carmona took his message to a gathering of health care professionals sponsored by Antham Blue Cross Blue Shield.
