about the positions and today we think of medical investigators when you picture than you think of the cdc, safety levels and the medical investigators i wrote about in both this book and by previous book were to doing the same kind of research on disease that were just as lethal and dangerous. they did them in regular labs and clothing, normal clothing and then the even tested the disease. the tested vaccines on themselves and injected themselves with the disease is so it was her like medicine for these doctors. the doctors in this story are like fred, he's a neurologist, noted a neurologist in new york and to ever treat helen keller. he was also treating the owner of "the new york times" for bipolar disorder. there's also smith, a psychologist and friend of freud but they continued to correspond throughout this time and he was treating some of the most famous patience and you're concluding mabel dodge and members of the roundtable. he was even treating the mer stress what a life to the cowrite in the limo once a week and it was also the story of josephine a bacteriologist and neurologist

>> the thing to remember is already huntington had a light shined on them because of the cdc report ande very well spent, the girls in general were happy. they were probably overdelivering as to what you would call the normal school lunches in the whole of america. that aside, the story we're telling, really, was about sort of changing what was coming in in the kitchen in the first place. so, you know, look, when a farmer comes in, you have a funny voice, that's one thing. when anyone comes in to any area in any country and wants to sort of change things, it's always problematic. principal o'neill was generous to let us in the school we think. and it has a massive impact on the ladies in the kitchen. the first few weeks were tough and it wasn't helped by the press demeanoring the locals or the people in the area. so it was a fairly hard two or three weeks. the girls are solid. they run the kitchen proficiently. my job was to get the food coming in different. i didn't want the processed nuggets or the pizza for breakfast. i didn't want -- the scrambled eggs that were already cooked. i wa

we really wanted to go to the eye of the storm of the government statistics, the cdc report for diseasewithout question, you know, this area has suffered greatly over the last number of years for all the kind of big hitters -- heart disease, diabetes, obesity, et cetera, et cetera. so that's kind of where i set up camp, really. and my job was really to understand the problem, try and fix it, and see what needed to be done. and try and become to a part of the community really. >> it's a nationwide problem. >> that's an interesting thing. >> what is it about us, though, as americans? >> it's not just you. i come from england and we've got the same problems. england is the most unhealthy country in europe. america as far as i know in the world. undoubtedly we both got problems. and it's all about control. and neither of our health systems can cope. at the moment $150 million a year is spent on obesity alone. and in the next year it's set to double. it's big numbers, big cash. but most importantly what i wanted to do i suppose is get off the statistics and put life, heart, soul, and people
