Looks Promising Though

Sugar is the real enemy, not fat itself, says film targeting obesity
Now comes Fed Up, a film that looks at the global problem of surging human obesity rates and obesity-related diseases. The film, produced by Laurie David, former wife of Seinfeld creator Larry David, and narrated by TV journalist Katie Couric, seeks to challenge decades of misconception and food industry-sponsored misinformation about diet and exercise, good and bad calories, fat genes and lifestyle. When it comes to obesity, fat may not be our friend but it's not the enemy that sugar is, says the film's scientific consultant Robert Lustig, a neuroendocrinologist, author and president of the Institute for Responsible Nutrition. It is a view that is gathering support from doctors.
Ummm, doctors have been going along with those lies for decades.  They are the instigators and enablers.  They gave the food industry all the ammunition they could use.  
Do not give them a pass, ALL my doctors have spewed the low fat bullshit at me.
