I think it makes some legitimate arguments about how food is marketed, how industry/economics/society places a lot of pressure on the public, and how the public is then blamed for all of its problems. At the same time it also seems to willfully ignore the idea that people are at least somewhat responsible for their actions. Sure, fast food tastes good, it's convenient, it's perceived as cheap, and it's attractive ... but you could also choose not to eat it.

It seems like a complex issue and it also seems like lots of discussions (including this film) are very one-sided. We're more obese than ever now, and that can't just be because everyone suddenly got lazy and it also can't just be because of changes in the food industry.

It annoyed me.
