Obesity and diabetes - Just a question of lifestyle?

Why do we become obese and is there really a connection between obesity and diabetes? The outside world is full of good explanations and solutions. However, often they point in different directions: Is obesity for example caused by what we eat or is it all about our genes?

In the Science Theatre, researchers, actors, musicians and a dancer enlighten the issues surrounding obesity and diabetes. The scientific research results are presented through a universal human story of ”Britt” and ”Lasse”. Everything is tied together by live music, dance and humor. The performance is funded by Forebyggelsesfonden.
