On Tuesday's Backchat, we’re discussing the dangers of obesity, as it marks World Obesity Day.

The Hong Kong Obesity Society is urging parents to better monitor their childrens’ lifestyle, warning that 20 percent of Hong Kong students are at risk of overweight.


The society — alongside Asiehep — also raised the alarm bell on the prevalence of fatty liver disease, of which obesity remains the main cause.


So how do obesity rates – here in Hong Kong – compare to the rest of the world? And to what extent is mental health playing a part?


After 9:45, we delve into this year's Oscars.
