I saw this movie last night. It's funny, educational, entertaining, and with luck, may even save a few lives. In short, go see it.
As my hubbo unit was saying as we left the theater, defenders of the fast food industry rely on that old canard of "individual choice" -- that no one is forcing people to eat at McDonald's. But this tired argument assumes we live in a vacuum instead of a media-saturated culture where people are bombarded by seductive advertising from a very early age. It takes a media event like this movie to effectively contradict the enormous marketing power of these companies.
