Carb-Loaded: A Culture Dying to Eat
September. 25,2014 PGOne in three Americans is pre-diabetic. A huge percentage of them do not know that they are sick. Adult onset diabetes is no longer an illness for the obese and elderly. Millions of Americans who regularly exercise and eat a diet recommended by the USDA are classified as "skinny-fat". The connection between the standard American diet and numerous metabolic disorders is now an unspoken fact in most medical circles

Highly Overrated But Still Good
Absolutely Fantastic
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
They did a good job articulating in very simple format, that doesn't feel condescending to someone that already understands the pathophysiology. Use of animation helps keep any demographic engaged, but again, doesn't come off as childish.
I cannot believe that this has not been reviewed by more people or perhaps people do not think to review documentaries as much. in any case, they did an excellent job and explained in detail something I had already stumbled upon after a recent trip to the doctor who explained I was pre-diabetic and needed to change my diet or it would go full bore. I am amazed that the things they explained were not highlighted anywhere else, especially in schools and to parents. The way the film is shot is a bit quirky I will admit, but the information, research and facts given seemed well thought out, extremely informative and everyone (and I mean everyone) specifically in the good ol' US of A should be listening and studying this video and information intensely!
Another amazing movie by the Food Matters team! It simplifies the notion of the complex phenomenon food has become thanks to the western diet. Really simple solutions reiterated, it is really not that difficult to eat healthy. I like how the research was brought together from different angles making the documentary holistic.For those who want to understand food and nutrition, this is a must watch.The western diet has really been twisted and turned to suit the corporate industries who have taken over our food system therefore, To sum it up,JUST EAT REAL FOOD!!(Organic, Local and Seasonal)
