Overview
Zembla is a Dutch television documentary programme by VARA and NPS. The documentaries are based on in-depth research which can take months. The subjects are often controversial. A documentary in 2001 about fraud in the Dutch construction sector led to parliamentary inquiries. In May 2006 the programme exposed the fact that politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali had lied in her claim for asylum, which led to her resignation from parliament.

Overview
Fast food on every street corner, supermarkets full of processed food and candy machines in every canteen. Due to the enormous range of unhealthy food, many Dutch people continue to thrive. By 2050, more than 60 percent of the population will be too heavy, the RIVM expects. But stopping the obesity epidemic suddenly seems within reach due to a new generation of medicines. A weekly injection affects the endocrine balance of users. They feel satisfied more quickly, are barely hungry anymore and therefore eat less. We investigate the consequences of the slimming injection. Is it indeed as spectacular a breakthrough as it seems?
