Baylen Linnekin on What the Documentary Fed Up Gets Wrong About the 'Obesity Epidemic'

The new documentary Fed Up bills itself as "the film the food industry doesn't want you to see." But as Baylen Linnekin reports, the film is so biased and misleading that most viewers will likely rank it as a film they themselves didn't want to see. As he explains, while Fed Up purports to shine a critical light on the food industry and the "obesity epidemic," it mostly ignores the real culprit: government subsidies and other handouts to farmers who raise crops that are turned into sweeteners.
