Fed Up: New Documentary on Obesity and the Food System

Fed up, by Stephanie Soechtig, is a documentary addressing the obesity epidemic in the United States. The documentary lays the blame of high obesity rates squarely on the amount of sugar in Americans' diets and is unapologetically critical of the food industry and government policies that the filmmakers argue are fueling the rise in obesity. "Everything we've been told about food and exercise for the the last thirty years is dead wrong," asserts the website for the film.


Fed Up is in theaters, as of May 9, 2014.
