Fed Up blows the lid off everything we thought we knew about food and weight loss, revealing a 30-year campaign by the food industry, aided by the U.S. government, to mislead and confuse the American public, resulting in one of the largest health epidemics in history.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
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.
cantras It is all in all a good documentary, but it misses the point and also starts out with something I and many nutritionists and physicians would consider dangerous.they fail to teach the view how to read labels and choose healthier foodsthey start out by saying that exercise more and eat less is nonsense when we all know that it actually kinda does work that way. Of course you cannot eat junk ALL DAY long and then work out for a bit and you stay in shape.BUT: They accompany a few children who are struggling to gain weight. In it a very populist approach which is said as they themselves try to fight the food propaganda by the big food companies.The children in this documentary eat nachos, cheeseburgers at school and they are being filmed while crying about their failure in losing weight!C'MON!!!!!!!!!!! Be fair, especially if you are the good guys.
paintbynight Great documentary and I agree with many points but this is a true infiltration film of the now current liberal media. I don't think they ever interviewed one conservative/republican. The government and big business do have a major part in the epidemic but NOWHERE do they ever address the lack of impulse control that human nature is now nurturing. While very informative of what many of us already know( for the majority of this doc), they end this with 5 minutes of the obvious...MAKE YOUR OWWN FOOD at HOME! Yet the majority of this film is the blame game or the lack of 'Morality' of the advertiser while totally denying the allowance of social 'free will' to which the leftists' are so usually in favor of. It's a great and enlightening film about how big business and political hypocrisy really play a big part in a majority of human priorities and decision making. I thank the gods for giving me parents who taught me rational thought.
jlisting They left the most important point of the equation until the very last bit. It is that nobody cooks any more from scratch. They all want a fast fix by eating packaged foods. Parents are usually the first to say they would die for the children and do anything for them. Well, why are they not cooking for their children instead of being lazy and going for something out of the box? That is the problem right there. Just because these corporations keep putting all their products on the shelf does not mean one has to buy them. Why not send a STRONG message to these companies by BOYCOTTING their products and starting to cook from scratch? Try eating rice and beans, and frozen vegetables without cheese and all that stuff, just plain veggies that you season to your liking.Unless parents are ready to take back their children's lives by actually cooking for them, then this problem will continue to grow. We as a nation have become lazy and just want a quick fix, we only have ourselves to blame.
