Europeans are tipping the scales with 1 in 6 people now obese, but why? ARTE Europe Weekly explores the complex causes behind this and investigates whether the so-called 'miracle' weight loss drugs containing semaglutide can offer a lasting solution or if they are merely a temporary fix in the battle against obesity.
This weekly News programme is produced by the Franco-German broadcaster ARTE and made available in 8 languages through a European media partnership formed by El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE), Telex (HU) in coordination with ARTE. The project has been made possible with EU funding within the framework of the „European Media Platforms” preparatory action.
