Peppy and eager to please, this relentless Australian documentary takes a strange approach to early death and unnatural appetites.
Both are the result of too much sugar and fructose in the average diet.
They’re represented by a graveyard populated by the bones of overeaters, a mouth filled with rotting teeth (pulled out one at a time) and the health-destroying antics of a filmmaker who chooses to eat fast food that’s really bad for you.
His name is Damon Gameau, and normally he’s a health-food addict. But, like Morgan Spurlock, who made “Super Size Me,” in which Spurlock restricted his diet to McDonald’s burgers and fries, he means to make a point about the fast-food industry and the epidemic of obesity.
