SUPERSIZE VS SUPERSKINNY

LATEST ATTACK ON OUR WAISTLINES TOO MUCH TO STOMACH?

Enter Channel 4’s answer in the form of Supersize vs Superskinny (C4 Tuesday 8pm), where each week a team featuring doctors and tyrannical nutritionist Gillian McKeith investigate our dysfunctional relationship with food.
