America the Beautiful 2: The Thin Commandments Movie Screening

In an instant, 29 million Americans became fat, out of shape and dangerously obese and they did it without taking a single bite of food. It was all the result of a decision to change the national standard for obesity.

ANAD, located in suburban Naperville, is a national non-profit that advocates for healthy attitudes, bodies and behaviors and is hosting a movie screening of Darryl Roberts' documentary America the Beautiful 2: The Thin Commandments.

This documentary is a great reminder that we truly need to be discerning of the ideals that are appropriated to us, and it's message challenges us to know the truth about our health by recognizing that wellness, not weight should always be the goal. Join us as we view this film and hold a question and answer discussion with creator and director Darryl Roberts after the screening.
