Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

This is an important film that has the potential to change lives. It may "push" the Reboot program; but that is not a deal breaker. This holistic approach may save some people a life of disability and heartache. It may also help some patients who are not obese. FSND follows two men with chronic urticaria, but this diet may also be applicable to persons with hidradenitis, psoriasis, arthritis and a host of other disorders. It's unlikely that research will be done since the raw food diet is cheap compared to medications and surgery.

From NetFlix: This documentary "focuses on two men whose bodies have been trashed by steroids, obesity and illness, this documentary chronicles the rigorous healing path -- including a two-month diet of fruits and vegetables -- that both attempt in a bid to rescue their health"

Killer at Large (2008)

Why Obesity is Americas Greatest Threat
From NetFlix: "Obesity causes 110,000 American deaths each year and plays a role in one-third of all cancer deaths. Yet, despite ballooning concerns, little is being done on the public policy level, as this probing documentary explains. Exploring the issue from individual, political, scientific and cultural perspectives, the film features appearances by Bill Clinton, Ralph Nader, Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Surgeon General Richard Carmona and others." 2008 102 minutes

Note: I rented this from NetFlix. It is a sobering documentary. Well-worth viewing. A great teaching tool.

Supersize Me (2004)

"Super Size Me" is one man's journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It's an examination of the American way of life and how we are eating ourselves to death. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a 'McDonald's only' diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death. (from trailer page) Trailer 2004 98 minutes
