The documentary, which was executive-produced by Katie Couric (who also narrates the film) and Laurie David (An Inconvenient Truth) and directed by Stephanie Soechtig (Tapped), does not mince words. It places the blame squarely and fairly on a purely profit-driven food and drink industry and our government, which, instead of protecting consumers, has long been unusually solicitous toward food and beverage industry needs. As Harvards Dr. David Ludwig unsparingly points out in the film, Americas approach to the obesity epidemic has been a systematic failure because weve placed private profit and special interests ahead of public health.
