For my project not only did I read a variety of books, I also watched many programmes. Most of which I found online on sites like iplayer, 40d and obviously the ever resourceful you tube. Below are a variety of my favourites. Again there is so much online to enjoy if you know what your looking for which I found extremely helpful for resource purposes and just for general viewing.
My personal favourites include the series recently featured on channel 4 "the food hospital". It is eye opening to find out how powerful food is and how it can actually be used as a medicine. There are a number of teenagers featured in the series, with problems ranging from obesity to severe eczema, highlighting teenagers poor nutrition and diets.
If your looking for something along the lines of how the media have influenced teenage diets i found the documentary "Superskinny me" brilliant. It depicts many of the current hollywood diets and demonstrated to the viewer how dangerous these diets actually are.
