The amount of sugar in everything is so alarming! Haven’t seen that one, but I recently watched Hungry for Change on Netflix and it was equally eye opening.

Gmo omg is an amazing documentary..it’s not new but I just saw it and it was..as they all are..so upsetting what people allow in out fodnin this country. I thought it was so interesting and sad when they talk to people from other countries who are baffled by the gmos in our food.

That picture with the plant and the child is really interesting to me. When I taught 6th grade, I had a discussion with my students about how refined sugar is different than the glucose that plants make through photosynthesis. One of my students asked that we test it by giving one plant water and another plant sugar water. Of course, the sugar water plant turned brown, then died, then got moldy, lol, while the other plant kept right on trucking. That’s all it took to have them convinced. After that, many of them changed their breakfasts to fruit because they wanted natural sugars!

I’ve read some pretty scathing criticism of That Sugar Film (and also Fed Up, which I’ve actually watched and wasn’t that impressed). Basically, the creators of the film have very little scientific or nutrition credentials, and bend the truth to make themselves and their film look scientific. Here’s a good article: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2015/08/that_sugar_film_science_debunking_links_to_mood_health_fatty_liver_disease.html
