I think it's weasel of me...
We... very weaselly of me
- to not get on your scale.
- No, I understand.
No, I will weigh myself only...
Yeah.
Because I think
it's wrong not to.
Yeah.
But I've given you every reason
why I hate it
as much as anybody else
and I don't wanna go
on the record
that I've ever been this heavy.
I'm so mad
because I shouldn't be,
but let's do it.
You... oh, are you sure?
Yeah, no, it's fair.
Okay.
Oh, you put it right here.
Okay, one second.
So, what is my...
What is my allowance on...
Yeah. Well...
All these pretend pounds
of clothes that I'm wearing?
We'll take off five pounds.
Okay.
Okay.
So here's the thing...
So, tap it once
and then you step on it.
Tap it and then get it on?
Yeah.
So this is why really sucks
because... okay, there.
Oh, oh, sorry.
So, um...
What were you saying?
Don't step on it yet.
'Cause I know that I'm...
Okay, you tell me...
Do I do it now?
Now you can.
Okay.
So this is gonna really suck
for me...
Uh-hmm.
Because... oh.
So I'm about five
overruns this week,
but I can live with that.
With everyone's support, yeah.
But that is what it is.
As I travel
the country with my scale
making friends
and making my case
I still couldn't reach
the one person
closest to my home.
And then out of the blue
it happened.
I'm sitting here at the computer
doing my homework
and I look over to the TV
and senator Kearney
is on the news.
This is the man
I've been chasing for so long
and he's on the news.
Okay. Hold on.
Let me rewind this.
I just literally got an email
from the campaign
- two minutes ago.
- Senator Kearney,
that's him.
So, Wednesday, it looks
like the president is going
to be here.
The man who doesn't give
interviews is on the news.
And he says where he's gonna be.
President Obama
is expected to arrive
in Cincinnati tomorrow night.
It's gonna be his free
two minutes ago, so, Wednesday,
it looks like the president
is going to be here.
And he's gonna be there, too.
I guess him
and the president are tight.
I got to find out
where there is.
I'm sorry but we won't be able
to get you any more tickets
because the event is sold-out.
I'm trying to think
is there any other,
like, way I could get it in?
There'd be any extra seating,
I can stand.
Well, you're welcome
to come down
and show your support,
but without a ticket,
I'm afraid you won't be able
to get in.
I'm a student
and I'm studying journalism
and, um,
and I would like to get in
because I'm trying
to get this interview
with the senator.
Well, if you have a press pass,
you might be able
to get in that way,
but that's not handled by us.
Do you have press credentials
from your school?
What are press credentials?
Well, press credentials
are like an ID
that identify you
as a journalist
or at work.
Okay.
But again, press passes
aren't issued by us.
That's handled
by the president's staff.
So, I'm not really sure
what to tell you there.
I may not have
press credentials,
but I have Photoshop
and a printer.
My heart was racing.
After all this time,
I've almost made it,
and behind this door
was my destiny.
Actually I was wrong.
Behind that door
was the secret service.
Thank you.
After a few
uncomfortable minutes
of explaining myself,
turns out the president's
people were kind of cool.
They even issued me
a white house press pass
for the event.
Hi. This is Bailey Webber.
I'm here from university
of Cincinnati
and I saw on the news
that senator Kearney
was gonna be here.
So I was hoping maybe
to get an interview with him.
I'm in the press area,
so it'd be great
if you give me a call back maybe
if you can come over here
and just talk to me.
That'd be great.
Thank you so much. Bye.
Maybe he's here.
Hello, Ohio.
Wow.
It's the president.
The fight just yet.
I am not ready to give up
on that fight.
Wait, Kearney's
right over there.
For those of you who
and still trying to open
their minds.
This is not just a choice
between two candidates
and two parties,
it's a choice between two
- different visions of America.
- Where is he?
He just left.
He was standing
right over there.
A choice between a return.
Hi, this is Bailey again
calling for the senator
and I see him right here.
I was wondering if he could
just come to the press area
so I can interview him
real quick
if that's all right.
Thank you so much. Bye.
In the past,
we feel the same way.
We want you first.
You don't...
Let's see if he comes.
I got it.
That's him.
Yeah, that's him.
And so this can't make
you have to want
the change, right?
And it starts
with the choices that you make,
and this is what I tell my kids,
make healthy choices, right?
It's comforting to think
it's diet and exercise,
because it's something
that feels controllable.
Just think about putting
a little more fruits
and vegetables on that tray
and then trying to eat them.
Can you do that?
Come on now.
There are a lot
of researchers out there that,
that will insist
it's a simple physics equation,
energy in, energy out,
and it should be fine,
but that's not the case.
You have to be active
and move, right?
Can you help me with that?
Yes.
Yeah.
We need to stop
putting this on the kids
and saying it's your fault
or there's something
you're doing wrong.
We don't want whining.
Can you help us by not whining
about a change?
You know,
to single out kids and say,
"you need to change
your behavior,
this number is a problem,"
you know, it's not the number
that's the problem,
it's all of the other issues.
It's not one single thing,
it's gonna be 50,
60 different things
that we'll have to look at.
The truth of the matter is,
there's a big problem
facing our country
and the solution
isn't that easy.
We have been offering eat less,
move more
lifestyle modification,
which is all important,
but we have been offering
that treatment
for the last 50 years.
If it is that simple,
why are we talking
about obesity today?
Why is it not fixed 50 years ago
if it was a simple cure?
Meet Dr. Nikhil Dhurandhar,
a physician with a masters
in nutrition sciences
and a PHD in biochemistry.
Many, many people,
when they hear the word obesity,
the first they think...
Probably think of
is that these people
who are suffering from obesity,
they have no willpower
or no self-discipline,
and that is what has caused
their obesity.
But remember that obesity
is a disease.
Yeah.
It chooses you,
you don't choose obesity.
Dr. Dhurandhar's lifework
has revolved
around researching obesity.
His dad is known as the father
of obesity practice in India,
and he's not only the chair
and professor
of nutritional sciences
here at Texas tech university,
but he's also president
of the obesity society.
Maybe we should listen
to what he has to say.
But some people seem to think
they have inherent knowledge
about how to prevent
or treat obesity
