Clevercell Very disappointing...

Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

parishkyle1-1 There is no sugar in most soda pops in the United States. It's corn syrup that is the problem. A&W root-beer from the restaurant has a lot of natural ingredients, like tree bark, licorice root, berries and other spices and is made with cane sugar as are just about all home-made root-beers. Diet soda is even worse for obesity, because it makes you hungrier. Stop giving sugar a bad name.

mstortelder As I saw the doc :Fed up,I would like also to take on the alcohol abuse problem. Read my novel:Opgroeien in Dalten.(Growing up in Dalten)Editor :Boxpress(Netherlands)In the Netherlands one million people have problems with alcohol.Among them 400000 are alcohols.Fifteen percent of our youth has a problem with alcohol.

D' Francis One can talk politics and debate on which side to blame for the obesity epidemic. This is definitely a politically slanted documentary, but that should not dissuade a discerning critically-eyed reviewer. Whether it's the consumer, corporations or government, the documentary makes a cogent case that there needs to be significant changes in our society and our personal lives.The comparison between cigarettes in the 1950's and sugary foods today is undeniably spot on. With an ongoing marijuana vs alcohol debate, it's also fair game to ask, why exactly do we prohibit kids from consuming one unhealthy addictive cigarettes but practically encourage them to consumer unhealthy addictive junk food? It's a documentary ahead of its time.

maxskyfan-9 PlotThe villain of this picture is sugar and the story follows how three families come to term with it. Along the way there where several interviews that covered the subject quite well. There was some background on the history of the food/sugar industry itself that delved into the student lunch program and into the adverting that is directed to children. The narrative is that kids are targeted from infants to adults.Character DevelopmentThis film tried to throw you a curve-ball by first blaming obesity on overeating and lack of exercise.ActingNo Acting. This is a documentary.OverviewIt was impressive how the producers were able to get an interview with Bill Clinton. Throughout the course of the film parts of his interview were sandwiched into the storyline. A strong case was made against the sugar industry and the companies that use sugar in their products. It was really eye opening to take in the whole discussion. The makers did an effective job illustrating the amounts of sugar that are in each product they showcased and they made it seem that sugar was in most products. Ultimately they painted a grim picture with not one of the families featured having a happy ending, juxtaposing the cigarette industry with the food industry.
