A BRITISH reality television program to be filmed in Australia this winter will force fat children to hunt for food with Aborigines.
In Fat Kids Can't Hunt 10 fat youngsters will live with Aboriginal tribesmen in Australia for a month.
If the children want to eat, they must follow the strict rules of the Aborigines, eating plants, grasses and fruits as well as trapping, killing and cooking any animals or insects they find.
If they do not eat the bush tucker, they go hungry.
Made by made by Big Brother producer Endemol, Fat Kids Can't Hunt is designed to help overweight children tackle overeating problems
It follows a similar BBC3 program earlier this year called Fat Men Can't Hunt which sent obese men into the desert in Namibia.
Producer Bridget Sneyd told the Sun: “Britain has the fattest teenagers in Europe with one in three overweight or obese. Doctors warn that if we don’t tackle this problem, generations of kids face a drastic reduction in the quality and longevity of their lives.
“This experiment gives our teenagers a unique opportunity to address their dysfunctional relationship with food once and for all before they reach adulthood.”
But critics have slammed the plan with medical experts calling the show "voyeuristic".
