Fed Up unearths the dirty little secret the food industry doesn’t want you to know — far more of us (U.S. citizens) are sick from what we are eating than anyone has ever realized. In riveting interviews with the country’s leading experts, Fed Up lays bare a decades-long misinformation campaign orchestrated by Big Food and aided and abetted by the U.S. Government. It’s produced and narrated by Katie Couric, one of the best known American news anchors.
Some of the sobering facts about the state of health in America revealed in the movie:
– over 95 percent of all Americans will be overweight or obese in two decades
– by 2050, one out of every three Americans will have diabetes
– 80 percent of food items sold in America have added sugar
With the testimony of pediatricians, scholars, politicians, and even ex US President Bill Clinton, “Fed Up” lays out how the common perception about how people become obese has unfolded as a mess of misinformation, how diet and exercise fail to curb the problem and why the food industries have been battling to keep this information secret for years.
The “Fed Up” movie is successful in getting the message across loud and clear: we need to change what we eat.
The movie was released on 9 May 2014 in the U.S. and it will hopefully start showing in South African theatres soon.
