One can talk politics and debate on which side to blame for the obesity epidemic. This is definitely a politically slanted documentary, but that should not dissuade a discerning critically-eyed reviewer. Whether it's the consumer, corporations or government, the documentary makes a cogent case that there needs to be significant changes in our society and our personal lives.
The comparison between cigarettes in the 1950's and sugary foods today is undeniably spot on. With an ongoing marijuana vs alcohol debate, it's also fair game to ask, why exactly do we prohibit kids from consuming one unhealthy addictive cigarettes but practically encourage them to consumer unhealthy addictive junk food? It's a documentary ahead of its time.
