Fed Up Movie in theaters May 9th

Fed Up,movie,release date,May 9th

I am pretty sure you have heard about the movie, “Fed Up”, which is coming to theaters today. If you haven’t heard about it yet, please, please read this post and learn all you can about the movie, and its message. It is powerful, and should concern each and every one of us.

This is shocking to me – 95% of Americans will be overweight in two decades. That is a STAGGERING number! We definitely have to take action (and quick) to help our youth (and adults).  Could sugar be killing us?

I hope you will go see this movie as soon as possible. Please make sure you take the whole family to see Fed Up, so that when/if you decide to make dietary changes in your household, everyone will know why.

After watching the trailer, I am honestly frightened for my own family, and for everyone else in the nation. We all know how bad sugar is for us, but there is so much more to learn, and that is where “Fed Up” comes in.

Fed Up comes from Katie Couric, Laurie David (he was the producer An Inconvenient Truth) and director Stephanie Soechtig.

About Fed Up:

For the past 30 years, everything we thought we knew about food and exercise is dead wrong. FED UP is the film the food industry doesn’t want you to see. From Katie Couric, Laurie David (Oscar winning producer of AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH) and director Stephanie Soechtig, FED UP will change the way you eat forever. The film opens in theaters across the country on May 9th.

  1. I plan to see it. I’d like to be informed about what’s in my food so that I can make better choices.

  2. I’d love to go see this movie. I would hope it would inspire me to make better food choices.

  3. I do not plan on watching it right now, I am full away for the sugar industry and food companies and how they make Americans sick by overloading them with sugar.

  4. i will see the movie. i want to know what corporate america is doing to our food supply and when it comes to the almighty dollar, i know it usually isn’t good. i think so many corporations use us as guinea pigs and the scientific community is just now finding out the long term results of their ‘experiments’ with food additives, gmos, chemical and pharmaceutical additions.
    maybe soon we will start seeing food commercials similar to the drug commercials listing possible side effects….scary.

  5. I need to see this movie! I might wait until it comes out on DVD, but see it I will. I know our family eats way too much sugar, but it is really all the “hidden” sweet that scares me. I’ve been trying to get everyone to eat more basics with no additives, and after being a vegetarian for 18 years my daughter is a vegetarian as well, and once a week everyone eats a vegetarian meal for dinner.

  6. I would like to see this movie because I love documentaries and also to learn how to make improvements to my diet.

  7. I plan on seeing it! I feel it’s quite important to educated about the foods offered to us and how we can make the best choices.

  8. I have not heard of it until your posting. It looks like an interesting movie. I would like to see.

  9. i am not planning to see the movie only because i don’t normally go to see movies in the theatre

  10. I won’t see it in a theater, but will probably see it eventually. I have seen most of the other food movies and read many books/blogs. The SAD is appalling.

    Nerd here. 🙂 I’ve been a fitness/nutrition geek for a long time!

  11. I have been hearing so much about this movie lately. It is a movie I am planning on seeing for sure. I think it sounds very interesting.

  12. I will be seeing this because I think its an important issue that needs to be addressed.

  13. I would love to see this movie to learn more about the terrible things that are being packed into processed foods.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  14. I’d like to get a few foodie pals together and see it, on a rainy day! I’m interested in healthy eating, and would like to know the whole story about sugar, etc.!

  15. I’m not sure if I’ll see it while it’s in theaters but I do want to watch it. I’m already aware that I eat too much sugar and that sugar is in a lot of foods you wouldn’t expect it to be, but I think I can still learn a lot from the film. I want to take the 10-day challenge.

  16. yes, fed up with what is in our food supply — the sugar, the trans fats, the additives, the pesticides. Shouldn’t be that way and bad for all of us!

  17. I don’t think I would go to the movies to see this but I might watch it if it comes to Netflix.

  18. Sure, I’d love to view it. I form my own opinions. I do think we eat far too much sugar. We watch what we eat in this household. I make most of my meals completely from scratch. And the funny thing, about sugar in spaghetti sauce- that is the whole secret to MY homemade-everyone-asks for it sauce- Sugar! Without the sugar, it’s just not the same!

  19. I probably will see it but will just wait for it to come out on redbox or netflix. It does look good, but movies out are a very rare occasion for me.

  20. I will see this at some point. I started cleaning up our diet some years ago when I saw “Super Size Me” It has been quite a journey. When I decided to remove HFCS and hydrogenated oils from our diet, I was in for a rude awakening. Almost all of the top name brand so called “healthy” foods contain these and many other junk ingredients.

  21. I would love to see it! I think it will be a huge wake-up to Americans that we need to change our lifestyles.

  22. Yes, I Plan On Seeing Fed Up, I Am Very Interest In Improving The Way My Family Eats And Think This Film Will Be Very Helpful.

  23. have not decided if we will see this movie but I heard it is interesting subject on what we eat and why the obesity rate is so high!

  24. I definitely want to see Fed Up because I want to know why our Food Industry is using so many chemicals.

  25. I’d love to if it was coming to my town. I’ll see it when it becomes available by other means.

  26. Seems a little scary – I might not want to know! Maybe I will – it’ll be a learning experience

  27. i’m sure i will see it someday but not in theaters, we dont go to the theater very often because of the price of tickets

  28. I definitely want to see this. I don’t know a lot about added sugar in foods and really need to be more aware of it.

  29. I will probably check it out if it comes out on netflix, I’ve been reading up on sugar and the effects of it and for awhile there was really good about staying away from it, it’s amazing her much better you sleep but less, and more energy too!

  30. I probably won’t see it in theatres (I live in a small town, the closest theatre that would play it is in Tampa) but I will definitely watch it on DVD or Netflix.

  31. I probably won;t see it until it is on DVD or netflix. I want to be a little ignorant on what is in my food. I gave up hot dogs/sausage for 10 years when I saw how they were made. LOL

  32. I would love to see it because with all the information out there it gets confusing quick!

  33. It looks good but I don’t know if I’m willing to pay almost $11 to see it in the theater. Maybe once it hits Redbox.

  34. I don’t get to see many movies in the theater. Just too pricey for a family of 6, but I am really hoping it comes to Redbox. I really think this is a great movie!

  35. I haven’t heard of it before, but I’d probably watch it on TV. I don’t go to the theater too much unless its to the indie theater with my boyfriend

  36. Probably wait for it to show up on cable…going TO the theatre is more dangerous than what you eat at the concession stand…

  37. I am definitely planning to see the movie even though it is not scheduled for release in my locale. I do go to the theaters and only purchase a bottle of water to consume during the movie. I consider all fast food and convience foods as poison.

  38. I’ll see it when it comes out on DVD. I do like to be informed when making food choices.

  39. I will not be seeing it until it comes onto Netflix. These types of movies aren’t entertaining to me and while educational I’d prefer to see something entertaining.

  40. Yes, I would love to see it! 🙂
    It looks like a great informational movie!
    Im fed up with my own eating habits.

  41. I’m definitely seeing this in theaters! It addresses as social issue I’m very concerned about and I think I would learn a lot from watching it!

  42. Tell me in a comment, if you are planning on seeing Fed Up, and why or why not.

    yeah ill see it..looks fun

  43. I am planning on watching “Fed Up” because I think that food processing and its harmful effects and hidden sugar content are important topics.

  44. Absolutely yes! Nutrition and health are some of my favorite topics and I think corporate accountability needs to play as big of a role as public awareness and education – maybe they go hand in hand and movies like this help bring it around!

  45. No, I’m not going to see it. It is just a hype film against the sugar industry to get everyone riled up and garner money. There is nothing wrong with sugar in itself (unless you are diabetic). You just need to train yourself and teach your children not to crave it. Don’t buy sugary things. Don’t use sugary things as a bribe or a reward. Don’t patronize the sugar-laden holidays (Halloween, Easter, Christmas) by buying candy. Control the amount of junk your kids eat at home and they will not develop a sweet tooth.

    By the way, you have a link for Sea Salted Chocolate Caramel Popcorn and another for Candy Showers Cookie Bar Recipe on your website—both of which are loaded with sugar. What are you trying to say?

  46. I plan on seeing this movie and hope it will make people speak up about what is in your food. I am a diabetic and having all that extra sugar really makes it hard to eat right and control my condition.

  47. I will, but probably not in theaters – more of a video or PPV watch. I’m not a big movie theater person plus doesn’t seem right to eat popcorn and candy and watch this!

  48. Surprisingly, this is the first time I have heard of this movie. I will probably watch the movie at home when it comes out, it sounds very interesting!

  49. I totally want to see it! I love anything do to with nutrition education! Thanks for the chance to win!

  50. I am most definitely going to see Fed Up because it’s a subject I’m interested in learning more about!

  51. I am not sure if I will go see it. The premise sounds great and grabs my attention. I just rarely ever go to the movies. I don’t even remember the last movie I went to.

  52. I think my daughter and I will see it because it’s the type of quasi-informational show we like.

  53. While I think the subject of the movie is important, I feel that they are pounding us over the head with the facts. So, no, I won’t see it…I do not take well to being lectured rather than entertained.

  54. I do plan on seeing it because I have recently lost a lot of weight and think its important to eat healthy

  55. I will probably see this at some point. But, I’m always leary of these type of documentaries – often they have such a liberal bias that I don’t want to watch. But, this is a subject that is definitely important.

  56. I for sure will see this. I am always looking for ways to clean up our diet and keep the planet healthy for all life

  57. I will see it. I have done keto which is basically cutting out almost all sugars so I would be interested in seeing more about it.

  58. Yes, I will rent this movie. I am very interested in healthy eating so this would be very educational.

  59. I will definitely be seeing this movie…I always want to be informed about better decisions I can make for my family.

  60. I’m a little late but I have been sugar free for a LONG time, except for a small amount of natural cane sweetener of some sort in my protein powder.
    Cant use much sugar as it feeds the Lyme bacteria. Havent been online much the past 8 months so had not even heard of this. But would love to see this for sure.

  61. If it comes out on DVD and is available on Redbox, then I may rent it. This is very interesting to hear about and I know I need to make a change in my diet.

  62. I won’t go see it at a movie theater because I never go to movie theaters but, I hope to watch it on dvd

  63. I’ll probably see it on TV. I think it’d be very interesting to learn about sugar and the food industry

  64. I would see it when it comes out on DVD. I usually do not see movies at the theaters, too expensive.

  65. I am planning on seeing the movie because I am obese and would love to learn more about the causes.

    1. I think it’s important to know what is in the foods we eat. While we probably won’t make it to the theaters, we will watch for it on Amazon and Netflix.

  66. I can’t wait to see this movie. I always try to keep on top of what’s going on with our food and food supply…plus, I think this movie might help convince my husband to go easy on the soda 🙂

  67. I would love to see it if it comes to my area. I am a big fan of healthy food and eating and agree that we need to change the way we eat.

  68. I wouldn’t mind seeing it. The way I see it is any type of education is never a bad thing as long as it is legit stuff. I didn’t see anything too bad in the preview above but if it contains scenes like Food, Inc. then I probably won’t get too far into it.

  69. Yes I plan to see this too. I’ve changed my diet and eliminated soda pop from my day. I feel a lot better for it. I’m trying to get my kids to do that too.

  72. I’m planning on seeing this because I like learning as much as possible about what’s in our food.

  74. I am planning on seeing the movie, because I would be interested to learn more about what I eat and what I feed my family.

  76. I believe that movies like this are important, and should be watched. I find the topic interesting, and would like to know more about what truly goes into our food!

  77. Actually, I have not seen the previews for the movie “Fed Up”. Thank you for getting your message out and making me aware of this crisis. I accept your challenge to be sugar free for 10 days!

  81. Probably won’t see it because I don’t get to the theater that often. DVD might be another story.

  82. I’ll be waiting to see it on DVD or Netflix. I go to the movies to be entertained, not schooled. It is interesting subject material but not summer entertainment for the family. Just being honest.

  83. I probably won’t see it, only because I already make good food choices. I’m well on my way to producing most of my own produce.

  84. I think I will wait and see it when it is on video but I do think the message is important.

  89. Yes, I plan on seeing it. I would like to learn more about making healthier decisions and also more about how I can help others make those decisions.

  90. I would love to see the movie but will likely have to wait until it is on DVD. It’s playing a very limited engagement in our area. 🙁
