Once past the mish-mash beginning of in-your-face advertising, this film explores the industrialization of America's food supply, with sugar as a major culprit. It's poignant to watch overweight children struggle to understand and achieve…

My favorite thing about this documentary is that it introduces us to the concept of one of the great unsung tricks of the food industry: food that is 'hyperpalatable' - it appeals to our taste buds and creates a craving. Here are some…

Not quite as good as "Super-Size Me" (which is the Gold standard) but a very, very close 2nd. ...if you have any weight issues or anybody in your family does...watch this!!

It's easy to beat up Katie Couric on this one even though the doc points to a lot of "elephants in the room" - again corporate America is the culprit in this film. We see the toxic system it plants in the schools, TV airwaves, and the…

Spoiler alert: processed food bad, fresh food good. I found many of the shopping & dietary choices exposed in this film to be almost comical. If you're still in the camp that shop in the middle of the supermarket, then this film might be…

Everyone should watch this. The deception in fast food and the willingness of schools and other public institutions to accept fast food company money while endangering our children's health. Heartbreaking for the children suffering with…

The subject covered in this feature is a reality every person living in the modern world needs to be educated on. Sugar is poison. Daily intake of more than 8 tsps causes undeniable illnesses and it is a progressive addiction. Why…

Insightful! Definitely a must watch if you know anyone you care about with heart disease, obesity , or diabetes and want to stop this bad trend.

A rehash of what we know about diet in America - but this offers new insight into the suffering of children and the chilling premise of what future generations may endure. It is a disturbing personal look at actual human beings that are…

A wake-up call to America. It's so sad and frustrating to see these poor, obese children being ruined by their ignorant, obese parents, whose poor choices are encouraged by the food industry and government.

Eye Opening...government posturing with big business...great discussion to have with family and friends and you will begin to look at sugar consumption a little closer.

it scared me so much!!! About what food can do to you, and sugar is in almost everything you eat in. i recommended this movie to anyone who wants to learn about the scariest things in a daily hamburger, a soda and in sugars. Whoever made…

This film is eye opening, at first hard to watch. I realized that people just don't know how to deal with the issues that are in this film. They don't understand eating healthy. It's a very sad situation the food industry has gotten into…

This is an important film for anyone who is concerned about what they eat. It shows how much power the sugar and other packaged food lobby groups have in the States. Even if you know how bad packaged food is for you, you may be surprised…

Very informative and an eye opener about food industry and the marketing of low fat products

I agree that everyone should see this film. For anyone who is interested in the food they eat, they probably are already aware of the issues this documentary brings up. But as I have come to discover, not everyone is knowledgeable about…

Combine this with the documentary GMO OMG! (another must see) and the American public would turn the food industry on its ear. This polite film kept going over questions about government involvement. Hello! Greed. The food industry buys…
