Fed Up is a 2014 American documentary film directed, written and produced by Stephanie Soechtig. The film focuses on the causes of obesity in the US, presenting evidence showing that the large quantities of sugar in processed foods are an overlooked root of the problem, and points to the monied lobbying power of "Big Sugar" in blocking attempts to enact policies to address the issue.

Synopsis

Fed Up shows how the first dietary guidelines issued by the U.S. government 30 years ago overlooked the role of dietary sugar in increasing risks of obesity, diabetes, and associated ill-health outcomes, particularly in children. Since these guidelines effectively condoned unlimited addition of sugar to foods consumed by children, sugar consumption has greatly increased, obesity has skyrocketed, and generations of children have grown up far fatter than their parents. These children face impaired health and shorter lifespans as a result. As the relationship between the high-sugar diet and poor health has emerged, entrenched sugar industry interests with almost unlimited financial lobbying resources have beaten back attempts by parents, schools, states, and in Congress to provide a healthier diet for children.

Plus d'un tiers des enfants et des adolescents américains ont un problème de poids. Deux adultes sur trois aux États-Unis d'Amérique sont atteints de surcharge pondérale ou d'obésité. Comment les États-Unis sont-ils devenus aussi gros ? Les chaînes de restauration rapide sont souvent montrées du doigt mais plusieurs procès qui leur ont été intentés par des clients devenus obèses ont été perdus faute de preuves.
