Wainwright House Film Screening: Programmed To be Fat?

Wainwright House and GRASSROOTS Environmental Education

Invite you to the screening of

Programmed to be Fat?

This new film from the CBC explores controversial new science that suggests being overweight is not just the result of too much food,

too little exercise and genetics.  Exposure to environmental chemicals such as Bisphenol A, pesticides and herbicides during fetal

development may be changing our physiology forever.  That say some scientists, could explain the alarming statistics on obesity – like the

fact that the number of overweight infants rose 74% in just twenty years. Scientists are now moving beyond their mice and rat studies, to test the theory in people.

Followed by a discussion led by Patti Wood, Director of GRASSROOTS Environmental Education.
