Hooray for Katie Couric for grabbing onto this MOST important issue! Too bad BR isnt a select city, at least not yet ;) The greatest villain to appear on movie screens this summer isnt a serial killer, terrorist or giant monster. Its sugar. How evil a villain is it? According to the new documentary Fed Up (opening May 9 in select cities), sugar -- currently added to 80 percent of processed foods on U.S. store shelves -- is responsible for Americas rising obesity rate, which is occurring despite the tremendous emphasis placed on exercise and portion control for those who are overweight. I think the pushback on this is, Its elitist to say to people to eat real food, its too expensive, its too difficult, its not convenient, people dont have the capacity to do this. And I think thats the messaging that the food industry wants us to believe. And its not true. We are also learning more and more about how these metabolic effects wreak havoc on a developing fetus, which Ill continue to share with all of you!!! cbsnews/news/documentary-fed-up-with-rising-childhood-obesity/
