  WOW! Excellent information- I think what frustrated me the most were the parents who were protesting: first for cookies instead of veggies for their little ones and then wanting school vending machines to provide junk food instead of healthier options in junior high and high schools for their teens. Its not a crime to be stupid, but alas we found some of the problem- parents and their parenting skills. I also believe that high fructose corn syrup is a huge factor in the obesity epidemic along with inactivity. I followed the "new" guidelines broadcast in the early 1990's I proceeded to gain over 50 pounds the last 20 years. I recently lost 70 pounds in the last year, by being very disciplined. I learned there are consequences to my choices- and no one put that food in my mouth- I did. I would never look to the government to tell me what to eat, that is not the job of government! I educate myself for healthy food choices and then try to be disciplined to eat moderately. However, we must provide healthy choices for our children because parents are responsible for their children and to raise them healthy. Therefore we must take individual responsibility and choose wisely: what we will eat, where we will buy it and how we will prepare it and then enjoy it in moderation. Healthy food can and does taste delicious. Our children watch what we do and usually tune out what we say. Therefore we must be an excellent example - the health of the next generation is at stake.

  It is absolutely crucial that we start supporting a preventive health care attitude and system.

  Our government doesn't really care about the health of the American populace as long as political appointees come from the corporations and industries that are causing many of the problems to begin with. It's money,money,money, forget health!

  its sad to see though that when individuals try to make programs to promote healthy choices, such as the somerville thing, the government wont fund it. same with the amendment that wasnt pass to regulate healthy food lunches...

  What a great film! This should be required viewing for all parents in the US. I know for a fact about the negative health consequences as a result of obesity because I lost over 50 pounds on a low carb diet. If I didn't lose that weight I was heading down the road to Type 2 diabetes. I also had sleep apnea and osteoarthritis which was worse on my joints because of the extra weight. Prevention is always cheaper than dealing with the diseases caused by and contributed to by obesity. I'm sorry that prevention is not really addressed in the recent health care reform legislation. Anyone interested in health needs to see this movie!

  This Film is all about awarness of what we eat and all the junk & process foods, big Food industry makes for the consumer. Parents should be educated before giving birth to a baby on parenting a child, HOW NOT TO grow into an obese person! Healthy living starts at home. Obesity is an epidemic in the USA . Very sad to see what parents are feeding their children. Children having all kinds of health issues at an early age. Parents + Food industry are making children into unhealthy Fatties! It all starts at home. You are what you eat!
