THE KIDS MENU is a feature documentary from the team that brought you "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." As filmmaker Joe Cross spent time traveling the world with his previous two films, he met thousands of people and one issue that came up again and again was what to do about the growing childhood obesity problem. In THE KIDS MENU, Joe meets with experts, parents, teachers and kids, coming to the realization that childhood obesity isn't the real issue, but rather a symptom of a bigger problem. The lack of knowledge of what healthy foods are. Lack of access to healthy and affordable options. And the influence of negative role models, whether a parent, teacher or even a celebrity. All of this together seems to be a lot to overcome, but when empowered, kids often make the surprising choice of the healthier path.
Reviews
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Another ignorant prophet. Some guy whose only qualification was obesity found a way of making money. And of course, everybody should repent, as the end is near. Is it true what he says? Who knows. Maybe yes, maybe not. But certainly this is no way to prove it right through cherry picking and getting on the band wagon.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
