About this movie

Narrated by Katie Couric, FED UP blows the lid off everything we thought we knew about food and exercise, revealing a 30-year campaign by the food industry—aided by the U.S. government—to mislead and confuse the American public. Exposing the hidden truths contributing to one of the largest health epidemics in history, the film follows a group of families battling to lead healthier lives—and reveals why the conventional wisdom of “exercise and eat right” is not ringing true for millions of people struggling with diabetes, childhood obesity and other serious conditions. Including captivating interviews with the country’s leading experts, this vital information could change the way we eat forever.

Ratings and reviews

The blunt emotional argument was to be expected, as with most documentaries. Also, don't expect content that at least recognizes some contrasting opinions and reasoning. Other more worthwhile parts, however, got me thinking about the role of advertising and education, and what responsibilities certain companies should or shouldn't have. If people are indeed being educated by Internet and TV ads, then perhaps some guidelines are in order. This isn't bad.

This documentary will let you know the truth about what you eat. Low fat, no sugar added, "natural sweetener" and all the lies and what's being.

This makes sense. Time for a return to basics!
