Hi. I need more information to add to this bib Annotated List of Works Cited Fed Up. Directed by Stephanie Soechtig, produced by Laurie David, Katie Couric, Stephanie Soechtig, et al., Atlas Films, 2014. Amazon Prime, www.amazon.com/ http://a.co/b3uF5Gf. Director Stephanie Soechtig delivers an education about “Big Food” engineering food products with a large amount of sugar, unknown to the consumer. Soechtig claims that sugar is the basis of Americans getting sick. Furthermore, she introduces four teenagers who are obese and have difficulty losing weight. “Fed Up” was selected because health is intriguing and there is so much to learn about it. This documentary is reliable to a point as director Stephanie Soechtig spent three years studying obesity issues in America but some of the facts seem disputable. She followed four adolescents with their obesity-related health struggles and difficulty losing weight. Soechtig conducted professional interviews, relied on testimony of the corporate food industry and presented powerful images. “Fed Up” brings curiosity as Americans are always trying to find out why there is an obesity problem. Soechtig delivers plenty of statistics and examples of food industry deceptions. The emphasis on the food industry cleverly deceiving Americans with engineered food is a powerful message in this documentary. Dargis, Manohla. “Sugar, Come Out With Your Hands Up.” nytimes.com, 08 May 2014, https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/09/movies/fed-up-descends-on-villains-in-the-battle-of-the-bulge.html. Dargis shares her observations and also notes what may have been left out – “whether the fat-acceptance movement can jibe with anti-obesity efforts like this one.” Dargis critiques the facts, footage, and notes the paradoxical nature of the film opening up in a theatre, where there is plenty of junk food to eat. Dargis is one of the chief film critics of “newyorktimes.com,” and is an outspoken critic whose views are respected in the community, and won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism. Dargis is not shy about the strengths and weaknesses of “Fed Up.” Her critique of this documentary leaves room for a sequel and more explaining. Dargis explains her views, and discusses “shame shots” of obese people with the camera leaving out their faces. In my opinion, her views are practical and agree with my views; therefore, I plan to use her as a supporting source. Hall, Harriet. “Does the Movie ‘Fed Up’ Make Sense? Science-basedmedicine.org. 14 OCT 2014, https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/does-the-movie-fed-up-make-sense/ Harriet Hall is a retired family physician who uses fact checking and statistics to reveal some of the fallacies of the “Fed Up” documentary. She calls out some of the character’s comments while suggesting that education is key in preventing people from becoming obese. Her in-depth article shares quality information. Hall’s article is relevant in that she is a physician and has done background research to dispute the statements made on “Fed Up.” I agree with her facts and will be using her as a supporting source. Hall’s medical background makes her a significant source for this paper. Her statistics help the reader see the fallacies behind “Fed Up.” Her medical experience along with her research make her a valuable resource. Harrison, Pam. “Reducing Portion Sizes Cited as Key to Obesity Control.” Medscape.com. 14 Dec 2015. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/855903. Harrison, a freelance medical writer, discusses Theresa Marteau, PhD, director of the Behaviour and Health Research Unit, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, findings on regulating calorie intake by reducing portion sizes. Harrison’s article is in a reputable Web site and is, therefore, reliable. She does not just state facts. In fact, she mentions statistics as to downsizing portions and ideas to help facilitate that. She also mentions a study carried out by Janet Schwartz, PhD, of Tulane University's Freeman School of Business, New Orleans, Louisiana. Smith, Jordan M. “Interview: Stephanie Soechtig, Laurie David & Heather Reisman (Fed Up)” Ioncinemacom, 06 May 2014, http://www.ioncinema.com/interviews/interview-stephanie-soechtig-laurie-david-heather-reisman-fed-up. Stephanie Soechtig and Laurie David both produced, with Heather Reisman being the coexecutive producer, the award-winning documentary film “Fed Up.” Journalist Jordan Smith, of Ioncinema.com, had the pleasure of interviewing them. Smith, a staff writer and film critic for Ioncinema.com, has communicated to film-goers multiple reviews. Soechtig, David, and Reisman reveal the large amount of investigating and struggles with the film, which taught them a lot more than they expected, with Soechtig stating, “Yeah, I thought, I’m such a healthy eater, I know this story and as I started digging and realizing, oh, I didn’t know this (Jordan Smith). Their discussion entails getting the sugar/junk food message out to the public. Soechtig, David and Reisman give their best piece of work in the film documentary, “Fed Up,” with an enormous amount of facts, using logic, emotion and ethical appeal that add up to the fact that sugar in processed food is making America obese. I liked how he had pictures of Soechtig, David and Reisman in his article and knew it would focus on them and the making of the film. His questions are to the point and thoughtful. This interview between Soechtig, David and Reisman reveals the large amount of effort dedicated to the making of the film as well as the pathos of the subject matter. Parts of this interview will be incorporated into my paper reflecting the emotionality of such a sensitive subject. Matsumoto, Nancy. Why We Disagree With The Film "Fed Up." Psychology Today. 04 Aug 2014. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/eating-disorders-news/201408/why-we-disagree-the-film-fed?amp. Nancy Matsumoto, shares her views with Dr. Marcia Herrin, co-authors of “The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders,” Gūrze Books, on how she disagrees with some of the points in the film, “Fed Up.” They bring up good points about aspects of sugar. I was drawn to this source because there are not many that discuss what they don’t agree with in the film. Matsumoto and Herrin are qualified in this area of obesity as they both wrote a book about eating disorders. They use relevant examples citing their reasons for disagreeing as to why there is an obesity epidemic. Matsumoto and Herrin bring up a different way of looking at the obesity epidemic that I agree with. Therefore, I am incorporating their article into my paper as a supporting source. “Fed Up” explores the sins of sugar, the obesity tsunami.” The Denver Post. 22 May 2014. http://www.denverpost.com/2014/05/22/fed-up-explores-the-sins-of-sugar-the-obesity-tsunami/. This article is a critical analysis of “Fed Up” depicting some of the main points during the film. One of the points “The Denver Post” focuses on is “sugar education”. Finding the solution, with education, to the obesity epidemic is a very good start. It’s interesting that this article critiques “Fed Up” as the film “Fed Up” critiques the American diet. It seems that most people have an opinion as to why there is an obesity epidemic. “The Denver Post” is well-respected and reputable, so I feel it is a reliable Web site for information. This article discusses key characters, such as Michael Pollan, in the film and uses good examples to relay the message of what the film is trying to depict. “The Denver Post’s critique of “Fed Up” and it’s will be incorporated into my paper as it supports my argument of educating the consumer about what they are eating. Wing, Rena R, Hill, James O. (July 2001). Successful Weight Loss Management. Maintenance.”Annualreviews.org. 21:323-341. Abstract retrieved from http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.nutr.21.1.323?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3Dpubmed&rfr_id=ori%3Arid%3Acrossref.org&journalCode=nutr Wing, Rena R, Hill, James O. The National Weight Control Registry. http://www.nwcr.ws/ This abstract recognizes obesity and refers to successful weight loss strategies. Following this common sense diet plan, obese people have a greater chance of losing weight and maintain it. This source was used as it is a reputable Web site that is peer-reviewed. The abstract delivers statistics for weight loss. The National Weight Control Registry is referred to that tracks over 10,000 people who have lost weight and kept it off for long periods of time. Because of the research involved, this is a reliable source. Being a reliable source for reviewing weight loss control, I plan to incorporate this into my paper as evidence for a common-sense diet plan.
