This is an excellent movie about the tragedy that is the obesity epidemic in the US and most other developed nations. The root cause is excessive amounts of sugar which our bodies have to convert into fat and store. This movie does a great job of explaining the science as well as the role that big food businesses play in contributing to the problem. Most processed foods contain added sugar, often to compensate for reduced fat. Consumers think these are healthy food choices and they are dead wrong. Consuming processed foods, fast foods and sugary beverages all lead straight to obesity and disease.

The solution is fairly simple. Eat a whole food and plant based diet, with minimal animal fats and no processed foods. Not only will this prevent and even reverse obesity but it will help prevent many other problems like heart disease and diabetes.
