Everyone seems to have missed the whole point of this eye-opening and noteworthy documentary. Folks in the corn belt will view this film as an attack upon their livelyhood. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will only see this as an indictment of meat. Both hit the board but miss the bullseye by a mile.

We have an obesity epidemic in America that is spreading to the whole world, and already some two-thirds of Americans are going to die an early death because they are either obese or overweight.
The negative effect of obesity on productivity and enjoyment of life is monumentally more damaging to the soul of America than most can easly surmise.

High fructose corn syrup is killing America. When carbohydrates are consumed your pancreas is signaled to produce insulin, and every calorie is stored as FAT. If you eat a high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbohydrate diet, you will lose about .2 lbs per day, and will become exponentially healthier. Take the zero carb not Peppsi challenge. Go to your local mart and actually look at how little food is low or zero carb. The government food pyramid is made of carbs. High fructose corn syrup has virtually replaced sugar because it is cheaper for the farmer to produce due to subsidies, and therefore has a higher profit margin.

The Corn industry justifies its subsidized existence by touting how little money the average consumer has to spend to acquire sufficient daily calories (never minding the fact that a subsidy to a parasite is a tax on a producer). But as Gary Taubes in his new book Good Calories Bad Calories - using rigorous science and documentation, and as any follower of Atkins knows, one tends to eat dramatically less on a low carb diet to the point of almost rectifying the price imbalance.

Had Morgenschiester from Super Size Thee, only ate Meat and Cheese at MickieD's he would have been sated far too early to finish the bun, fries, and high fructose corn syrup. How can we fault the farmer, FastFood, or the Consumer for taking the easy way out?

We should place blame squarely on the shoulders of the Government for its communistic social engineering of our society that yields big bucks for big industry on the backs of a populace that will die an early death. But if you view the American population as one giant herd of cattle, then it makes sense that our reproduction and early death is preferred for its effect on GDP?

Ketogenisis, D3 (4k+ I.U. /d), and SlowBurn weightlifting have the capacity to virtually end early death in America. Google it, do the research, stop relying on MSM and give this little gem of a documentary a chance. This film was brought to you by entrepreneurs working in the free market - reward them with your viewing dollars.

As an aside; there is mention in the film about how healthy free ranged grass fed cattle are. That is the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Some in the know have warrant for the belief that if we turned all corn acres into grass land for cattle, its effect on carbon sequestration would IMMEDIATELY remove enough carbon green house gas to completely reverse global warming. That is if you believe in that socialist wealth redistribution scheme. ;-)

I have not seen or heard of this, I'll check it out. You certainly are bang on with a number of points.

There exists the grand illusion that the heads of governments have the best interest of the public at heart. That we are all a-okay as long as big bro is in control, let's not speak of 'special interests' that drive the world based upon the faulty monetary system. Furthermore - everyone is conditioned for the easy way out - it's easy and requires no thinking, instead you hand over your individual power to faceless entities and believe they will lead you down the right path. In the process you hand over all of your rights, in the name of freedom, in the name of safety, in the name of health.

Let's not give audience to those that speak of 'conspiracy theories' say the heads who believe they are in control. Let's not allow the evidence to manifest itself in the form of a mushroom cloud...it goes on and on.

If you dig deep enough you find our root problem is population and our inept ability to use our minds. We've created a system that is far too complicated to remove ourselves from without great birthing pains as a new vision is born, a new way of life.

Instead of thinking about the real issues the sheep are content to wait for the next 'cycle' of a model show, a dance show, a cooking show with a rude host.

All the while long we shovel GMO foods down our throats and check when our next 'script is due for a refill.

Stopping myself now, I'll check this out, thanks for the heads up. IN the end the only thing that will wake people up is great strife and major collapse of quality of living. It will be far too late for many at that time, as some groups are well aware and have planted the seeds for a new era on earth.

I don't understand everyone's fascination with getting healthy so we can all live longer. Who wants to live to be old? Have you ever been to a nursing home? The world's overpopulated anyway, so just eat, drink, or snort your corn syrup and like it.

The Mountain Dew made me say this.

Interesting topic.
