Moscow Food Co-op Presents: Fed Up

Upending the conventional wisdom of why we gain weight and how to lose it, Fed Up unearths a dirty secret of the American food industry-far more of us get sick from what we eat than anyone has previously realized. Filmmaker Stephanie Soechtig and TV journalist Katie Couric lead us through this potent exposé that uncovers why-despite media attention, the public?s fascination with appearance, and government policies to combat childhood obesity-generations of American children will now live shorter lives than their parents did. The Food for Thought Film series is an Outreach program designed offer education through entertainment. The Moscow Food Co-op brings both documentaries and feature films to town on a number of issues related to the Co-op?s mission. Some of the film topics have included environmental sustainability, the importance of eating locally, water systems, food justice issues and many more.
