The movie 'Fed Up' is now on Netflix

Hi everybody. Just wanted to let people know that Fed Up is now available on Netflix. It is a documentary on the obesity epidemic in our country and our relationship with food. For me, it is hard to watch all the way through because I get so annoyed. There's a little bit about Fruit Roll-ups (made with Real Fruit) and I wanted to shout at the screen, 'Yeah? know what else is made with real fruit? FRUIT.'

Heard. I was watching a video last night of a doctor explaining the research on the need for a low fat diet and on the alleged relationship between high cholesterol and high mortality being completely BOGUS. Despite knowing it was bogus, our government STILL set up the food pyramid based on false info. Oh-- and the doctors who claimed to have "ground breaking" evidence that high cholesterol is dangerous.... they were all paid by pharmaceutical companies. The link to the vidoe is worth watching-- yes, I know it is an hour long-- but SO WORTH IT!!

Ever read Michael Pollan? He wrote Eat Real Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Plants.

He says not to eat anything your grandmother wouldn't have recognized as food. Well...probably your great-grandmother.

I watched it when it first came out. I loved it. But then I'm a documentary junkie. Lol. I think that I have seen all of them. Food inc, Food Matters, Hungry for Change, Forks over Knives, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, OMGMO, and more that I can't think of at the moment.

Watched it a few days ago! Felt angry for the typical government b.s. that's literally shoved down our throats! Big pharmaceutical companies and the grain industry have supported the obesity and diabetes epidemic we are seeing today all because of the almighty dollar!! They do not CARE about us!! Please watch! It's a great eye opener!
