Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Stephanie Soechtig's documentary Fed Up, narrated by Katie Couric, presents the case that the food industry and the government have acted together in order to change the eating habits of America in a way that has led to widespread obesity in children. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
"Special features not rated"--Container.
Original score, Michael Brook.
Narrator, Katie Couric.
Narrated by Katie Couric, the film blows the lid off everything that was known about food and exercise, revealing a 30-year campaign by the food industry, aided by the U.S. government, to mislead and confuse the American public. Exposing the hidden truths contributing to one of the largest health epidemics in history, it follows a group of families battling to lead healthier lives and reveals why the conventional wisdom of 'exercise and eat right' is not ringing true for millions of people.
MPAA rating: PG (some material may not be suitable for children) for thematic elements including smoking images, and brief mild language.
