Top 5 Films That Will Change How You See Food
1. “BITE SIZE”
“Bite Size” chronicles the journey of four children overcoming obstacles caused by their weight. From a 12-year-old with diabetes and dreams of being on the football team to a 13-year-old who attended a “Biggest Loser”-style camp, you’ll see how food affects their lives and how they cope with becoming the healthiest versions of themselves.
2. “FED UP”
Produced and narrated by award-winning journalist Katie Couric, “Fed Up” looks at the amount of added sugar in our foods and its effects on the body. The film focuses on how sugar shortens the lifespan of children, how we as a society are addicted to sugar and ultimately what it will take to fight the epidemic of childhood obesity and eliminate artificial sugars from our diets as much as possible.
3. “FOOD BEWARE”
This documentary is unlike many food films as it’s set in France and explores the hope for change in the French food industry. It promotes a focus on local farming and home cooking to help communities thrive economically and also be healthier.
4. “FOOD CHAINS”
This documentary won the 2016 DOC IMPACT AWARD and focuses on farmworkers in Florida as they battle for rights against the global supermarket industry. It sheds a new light on just how the big impact supermarkets have on the food industry and the importance of fair treatment for farm laborers in the United States.
5. “FOOD, INC.”
This is one of the more well-known food documentaries out there and it sheds a light on where our food really comes from by taking an investigative look into factory farms — specifically raising chickens in inhumane conditions. It also shares how the diets fed to animals have affected the quality of the food we consume later in the food chain.
