Synopsis

One in three Americans is pre-diabetic. A huge percentage of them do not know that they are sick. Adult onset diabetes is no longer an illness for the obese and elderly. Millions of Americans who regularly exercise and eat a diet recommended by the USDA are classified as "skinny-fat". The connection between the standard American diet and numerous metabolic disorders is now an unspoken fact in most medical circles

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
fsballard-270-234360 They did a good job articulating in very simple format, that doesn't feel condescending to someone that already understands the pathophysiology. Use of animation helps keep any demographic engaged, but again, doesn't come off as childish.
Ken Saclo I cannot believe that this has not been reviewed by more people or perhaps people do not think to review documentaries as much. in any case, they did an excellent job and explained in detail something I had already stumbled upon after a recent trip to the doctor who explained I was pre-diabetic and needed to change my diet or it would go full bore. I am amazed that the things they explained were not highlighted anywhere else, especially in schools and to parents. The way the film is shot is a bit quirky I will admit, but the information, research and facts given seemed well thought out, extremely informative and everyone (and I mean everyone) specifically in the good ol' US of A should be listening and studying this video and information intensely!
Hemal Thakker (hemalthakkar) Another amazing movie by the Food Matters team! It simplifies the notion of the complex phenomenon food has become thanks to the western diet. Really simple solutions reiterated, it is really not that difficult to eat healthy. I like how the research was brought together from different angles making the documentary holistic.For those who want to understand food and nutrition, this is a must watch.The western diet has really been twisted and turned to suit the corporate industries who have taken over our food system therefore, To sum it up,JUST EAT REAL FOOD!!(Organic, Local and Seasonal)
