Plot Summary
Everything we’ve been told about food and exercise for the past 30 years is dead wrong. FED UP is the film the food industry doesn’t want you to see. From Katie Couric, Laurie David (producer of the Oscar-winning AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH) and director Stephanie Soechtig, FED UP will change the way you eat forever.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A very good advocacy documentary directed by Stephanie Soechtig and narrated by Katie Couric.
Fresh: Some lessons are overfamiliar (almonds good, corn syrup bad), but the section on corporate influence over school lunches is enough to make you spit out that 20-ounce soda from the concession stand.
Fresh: Fed Up, unbothered by its often crude mode of attack, is definitely mad as hell. And its muckraking spirit, an anomaly in the age of giving in, is inspiring.
Customer Reviews
Best doc!! Must watch again and again!!
Katie Couric is fantastic doing what she does best.... Getting to the heart of the problem! Must watch over and over because sugar makes us forget how powerful it is!! Join the fight to put health back into society and stop making big business richer and the public poorer at the expense of our health.
Excellently done!
I’ve seen a few docs of various levels of bias, but this was one of the cleanest, most straight-forward looks at what is happening with food today. It doesn’t cover the whole story of course but let’s face it: no one movie could do that. It does, however, get to the heart of why everyone is ballooning up, and what to do about it. Watch it with the kids!
One of the most important films ever made!
I went into seeing this film knowing that sugar was the culprit of obesity in America but not knowing how it got to be that way. What was shown before me blew me away. I read all the news articles shown in the film in the past but I remember them always being dismissed or buried with the rest of the news. Now I know why. Now all the the articles are put together like pieces of a puzzle to make this wonderful wake-up call. After seeing this film I put together a new diet for myself...more of a lifestyle change than a diet. After extensive research of foods high in added sugar and foods low in sugar I realized why I couldn't lose the weight I wanted by just sticking to diet foods and exercise. This film changed my life around and I'm very, very thankful. I've lost thirty pounds so far after seeing this film back in May 2014. Thank you to Stephanie, Katie and everyone else involved.
