'Fed Up' Documentary Lays Blame for American Obesity on Food Industry

In the three decades since the first U.S. dietary guidelines were issued,
Americans have become heavier and more saddled with diabetes and other
diet-related diseases. The documentary "Fed Up" takes a look at what
happened and offers a most poignant profile of what life is like for
overweight children.
.
"Fed Up," which opened this week, lays a large share of the blame at the
door of the food industry. It looks at the idea that we don't seem to get
healthier despite a proliferation of products, surgeries, exercise
programs and diets. The film is narrated by journalist Katie Couric, who
also is an executive producer.
.
"The conventional wisdom [about obesity and health] turns out not to be
true," executive producer Laurie David, who was producer of the 2006
climate change film "An Inconvenient Truth," said by phone on Monday.
.
The most affecting part of the film might be the families that appear -
caring families struggling mightily with obesity, diabetes and other
health issues. The director, Stephanie Soechtig, said in a phone interview
that she has been following some of them for more than two years.
.
The filmmakers also talk to a number of doctors, scientists, writers and
others who argue against many of the fat tropes, including that weight is
a personal responsibility and that a calorie is a calorie. The history of
diet advice - low-fat, low-carb, high-protein dieting; the U.S.
government's food pyramid for "healthful" eating - all come under
scrutiny.
.
The film blames an industry that it charges is more interested in profit
than in the nation's health. Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at
the advocacy organization Center for Science in the Public Interest, noted
that candy and other snacks are no longer available just in food stores;
they're in office supply stores, linen stores, "everywhere."
.
"We've got to change the way we produce and consume food," says former
President Clinton. And the message of "Fed Up" is to start by cooking real
food and avoiding processed items.
