Sugar rush

A couple of good documentary movies all about sugar and the food industry which everyone should watch. Fed Up is on Netflix and available on DVD. And just out is That Sugar Film about an Australian who goes on a 6 week "healthy food" sugar diet. This meant no confectionery, no soft drinks, no ice cream and the results were still shocking. I have seen Fed Up and it is informative, worrying and then inspiring. The more the public can engage with the truths about the food industry the more pressure we can put on government to stand up to 'Big Food'. It is changing slowly but just like tobacco last century it seems to be taking way to long for the change to happen. Apathy, lack of education and powerful food company lobbyists all play a part. Big Food are making a lot of money and don't want change. Engage and spread the word!
