This movie is so important, I am going personally buy copies to give to members of my family and others I care about. It exposes one if the biggest lies being perpetrated, one that is killing a lot of people. I loved Super Size Me. It was entertaining and educational. But one little thing that never got answered was, why was the guy who ate nothing but Big Macs (but rarely had fries or soda) thin and healthy? Fat Head (referring to the fact that our brains consist mostly of fat [about 2/3rds]) answers this question, loud and clear. In fact, the guy who did the movie documents his living on nothing but fast food for 28 days, and he loses weight and improves his blood test scores from it! If you have any concern whatsoever about weight, high cholesterol,
or diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer (the biggest killers of all), you need to watch this movie! While Food, Inc., which I just reviewed, covers the insanity of our overall food system and our utter disconnection from our sources of food, this movie exposes the unpleasant (or pleasant) truth that even if you do eat cheap, crappy food, you can actually be relatively healthy if you understand human metabolism and choose the right kinds of foods, and I'm NOT talking about fast food salads or starvation diets! If you're not ready to do something about a local, natural, sustainable food system, you can at least improve your personal health. This movie is powerfully educational on the subject of health and I highly recommend it! Available through Netflix and for purchase on Amazon.com.
