Watch Fed Up For Free

Really Surprised!

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Im 10-20 minutes into this and already have heard so many false statements. Its just making excuses, blaming advertising companies for making people overeat. Its absolutely maddening. Im going to finish it, because I have to for a school project. If it turns around, Ill update the review accordingly.

Fed Up is a very interesting documentary about everything what is wrong in the food industry, especially the American one. It's all about the lobbyists and making as much profit as possible. The same like it was with the tobacco industry in the past, and the same as what is still happening with the firearm and oil industry. It's almost impossible to fight those big companies because they have so much money that they will corrupt the majority of people that are in charge of the laws. On the other hand you will still have people that are not selfish and that will try to make this world a better place. A place where money has no role and where people can live healthy and in peace. For that Fed Up is ideal because they can't ban a documentary like this one, where the truth about the food industry is being said. What makes the documentary sad sometimes is seeing how badly informed and brainwashed that a lot of Americans are. Seeing those morbidly obese children being desperate and trying to figure out why they are so fat is sad to see. What I found utterly disgusting as an European was the food those kids eat in their school. I had absolutely no clue that all those fast-food companies ruled the whole cafeteria. That would be absolutely impossible in any European country. There is no way our schools would serve our children hamburgers with fries, pizzas, nachos and all other crap food every day. I just can't believe parents in America don't say anything about that. Well most of them are obese as well so I guess they are used to it since they were kid themselves, but it's just appalling that something like that is possible in schools where your kids should learn to grow up healthy. Anyways, Fed Up, is a well done documentary that should be mandatory in every American family. A must see for every citizen of the world, fat or skinny, it doesn't matter.

PlotThe villain of this picture is sugar and the story follows how three families come to term with it. Along the way there where several interviews that covered the subject quite well. There was some background on the history of the food/sugar industry itself that delved into the student lunch program and into the adverting that is directed to children. The narrative is that kids are targeted from infants to adults.Character DevelopmentThis film tried to throw you a curve-ball by first blaming obesity on overeating and lack of exercise.ActingNo Acting. This is a documentary.OverviewIt was impressive how the producers were able to get an interview with Bill Clinton. Throughout the course of the film parts of his interview were sandwiched into the storyline. A strong case was made against the sugar industry and the companies that use sugar in their products. It was really eye opening to take in the whole discussion. The makers did an effective job illustrating the amounts of sugar that are in each product they showcased and they made it seem that sugar was in most products. Ultimately they painted a grim picture with not one of the families featured having a happy ending, juxtaposing the cigarette industry with the food industry.

Finally watched the documentary "Fed Up", and I must say that it's thought provoking and earth revealing of just how serious and dangerous the food and obesity problem has became for our nation. Narrated by Katie Couric this film proves that for years the food industry and federal government has been leading us in the wrong direction and our diets are killing us. This film shows a 30 year span of misdirection and bad choices of the government and food industry that scams our children thru advertising and school choice as they become fatter and fatter. Also you see interviews by top doctor's and political people and health experts who give their take on why eating has became such a health crisis. Plus the film follows fat kids and overweight families who continue to struggle with weight despite eating right and exercising. Yet the answer to the problem all lies in the sugar! Food companies have cut out fat yet they added sugar that's the toxic substance that we all love yet it kills us all. As experts say despite cutting calories when sugar is still present it doesn't matter you don't lose weight! And the film states the truth of how federal government is tied into the food industry and will lobby bad food into the local schools of kids and thru TV the advertising sells to kids a sugar taste it's a money making machine that's addictive to the brain. Overall this film is an important watch it's one battle that's gonna be tough to fight, so get "Fed Up" and be ready to fight.
