Fed Up

I wanted to share that I watched a newly released documentary last night called "Fed Up" with Katie Couric. Couric covers the ridiculous amounts of sugar that is added to processed foods and goes over some alarming statistics. I already knew processed foods aren't healthy, but this documentary was very interesting and extremely motivational. If anyone is interested, I watched it on Amazon, but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere. For me, education is motivation. The thought of eating processed foods this morning after watching this makes me cringe! I hope it sticks!!!

Maybe fear mongering for those who aren't capable of watching something and determining what is the important take away from the the information given. If you are a logical person and can riffle through facts and emotional lead ons, then you will be fine and not fall prey to "fear mongering".0 -

Education is indeed motivating
- tabloid journalism based on shaky research, leading with emotional but inaccurate headlines however is not0 -

You're new here. It's cute.
You'll learn in time. Hopefully.
No need to be condescending. What will I learn? That every one here thinks exactly alike? I truly hope not. I was simply trying to share something that has motivated me this morning.0 -

I wouldn't call it fear mongering. More propaganda. It's obviously agenda driven (they call on only people who support their agenda, and completely leave out all experts and evidence that disprove their theories.)
Then of course there's the small issue of none of the facts or statistics they present are actually true... But, facts are a minor detail in propaganda pieces.0 -
there is sugar in processed foods?

The amount of sugar (and preservatives) in processed food may be startling. But even before this revelation, many, many years ago, I was in college with a girl who had a relative who was a food inspector. Learning that there are percentages of rodent feces and hair and bug parts that are in an "acceptable range" really put me off processed stuff. And, once I inquired to a major food label about what "natural flavoring" meant (I wanted to make sure that what I was ingesting was vegetarian) and they were unable to tell me. This was in writing. So............................sugar ain't the only thang to get worked up about, if you're looking for something to get worked up about, that is...0

I can appreciate bluntness and thank you for clearing up what was obviously my mistake. You are right, it is not a documentary. Thank you for the clear up. Have a good day.0 -

Social decency aside, that Couric piece is still garbage for all the reasons tigersword listed.
Any comment about their post?0 -
Another "mean" thread? please oh please!0

Don't forget the amount of human faecal matter and urine found in bar snacks

Katie Couric is also famous for scaring people into thinking the HPV vaccine will cause cancer and kill you, despite a study documented in the British Journal of Medicine that took into account almost 1 million doses of the vaccine and found absolutely no link to cancer.
Media sensationalism sells, and Katie Couric uses this to her advantage. Enjoy her shows, but I wouldn't trust her to tell me anything.0
