Movie Review: Fat Head

[Guest guest]

This movie is so important, I am going personally buy copies to give to members

of my family and others I care about. It exposes one if the biggest lies being

perpetrated, one that is killing a lot of people. I loved Super Size Me. It

was entertaining and educational. But one little thing that never got answered

was, why was the guy who ate nothing but Big Macs (but rarely had fries or soda)

thin and healthy? Fat Head (referring to the fact that our brains consist

mostly of fat [about 2/3rds]) answers this question, loud and clear. In fact,

the guy who did the movie documents his living on nothing but fast food for 28

days, and he loses weight and improves his blood test scores from it! If you

have any concern whatsoever about weight, high cholesterol, or diseases such as

diabetes, heart disease and cancer (the biggest killers of all), you need to

watch this movie! While Food, Inc., which I just reviewed, covers the insanity

of our overall food

system and our utter disconnection from our sources of food, this movie exposes

the unpleasant (or pleasant) truth that even if you do eat cheap, crappy food,

you can actually be relatively healthy if you understand human metabolism and

choose the right kinds of foods, and I'm NOT talking about fast food salads or

starvation diets! If you're not ready to do something about a local, natural,

sustainable food system, you can at least improve your personal health. This

movie is powerfully educational on the subject of health and I highly recommend

it! Available through Netflix and for purchase on Amazon.com.

Hm... What he ate doesn't prove the point of the movie - the calories were close

to 1900 a day, and he ate classic diet foods, diet snacks, some diet drinks,

chicken and salad a lot. Oddly a review I read said he had two burgers a day -

they must have gotten him mixed up with the guy in SuperSize Me! who said he was

healthy doing that. I'm waiting to see someone on a 2500 calorie diet lose

weight.

Re: Movie Review: Fat Head

I'll give my 2 cents worth about this Fat Head (maybe worth about that much...).

I enjoyed it. It presents lots of good information. The first half of the

movie, roughly, was about Mcs not being as bad as Super Size Me makes it

seem, sort of. For one thing it's about personal responsibility, which I'm all

for. But, to me, it went on a bit long on this line. I felt like: I'm sorry,

but you're not going to convince me that the golden arches are a good thing!

Anyway, we lost my husband's interest during this part; he moved into the next

room to read. The second half of the movie, roughly, had a lot of great

information about fats, cholesterol, etc. Unfortunately, I never managed to

entice my husband to come watch that part. Anyway, check it out! I rented it

at Hastings. It does present some very good information in a pretty

entertaining way.

I borrowed the movie from the public library. It is worth watching and I got my

teenage daughter to watch it with me since she likes to eat at Mcs. the

bonus interviews at the end are very good.

I got the impression this movie was sponsored by Mc's. Their images

appeared there so many times and the entire first half was just to counter the

negative publicity done by " Supersize Me " .

The info. in the second half was pretty good and some parts were humorous, but I

still got left feeling like I'd watched a long commercial for Mc's.
