After thoughts on Fed Up

I went to see the movie and hopefully you did too. I left the theater upset and sad. It is so sad to see those children struggling with their weight and for some even diabetes. My heart goes to them and their families as we know how difficult it is to resist to the call of sugar. Yet the food industry doesn't make it easy on us. "Au contraire", they are targeting our children to sell the "pretend food" and adding sugar to any form possible. 

From the website Healthwize.com:
...The average American consumes 100 to 160 pounds of toxic, inflammatory, chlorine bleached, chemically-refined sugars every year, and this is one of the primary reasons for diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Additionally, a large percentage of American foods are artificial. The chemical industry has entered the kitchen, and every processed food now contains a variety of chemical compounds.
...The massive amount of refined sugars that we eat each year destructively inflames the pancreas, kidneys, and liver. When these organs finally become dysfunctional from such abuse, people develop a condition known as carbohydrate intolerance. Carbohydrate intolerance is a condition in which a body can no longer properly metabolize carbohydrates and sugars."
