it all boils down to common sense, still the movie had pretty visuals, and was informative, but it became ironic that most of what you see is junk food advertising.

As a film, this is standard doc fare: lots of expert interviews, snappy graphics, media footage (much of it horribly grainy) and real people whose stories make it personal. This one actually hammers home its message too often, which drags the pace and becomes frustrating. So many documentaries are full of righteous outrage and shocking statistics. It's a shame that the intended audiences will probably never benefit from it's message. Expand

This was a good, if somewhat sad documentary - it was tough to see those kids struggling to lose weight, really wanting to but not being able to for some reason.

The documentary takes aim at the American sugar and processed food corporations and blames them for our obesity epidemic - but it still left me hungry for more. I am not sure I agree with their claim that sugar is the culprit - I strongly suspect that Americans' passion for cheap, low quality meat and large quantities of carbohydrates other than sugar should share in the blame. Every fat person I've known was usually wolfing down cheeseburgers and digging in to big plates of barbecue in addition to tackling big gulp sodas, budget-priced pies, ice creams, bags of chips, sugary cereals, cheezy pizzas, beers, et cetera. Hey, America - eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains! It is worth the effort - it is better for you, better for your kids, and better for the planet. Expand
