Fed Up Film Review

Improved Essays
I like this movie so much more than Fed Up. Seeing the results Joe and Paul obtained is very impressive. Juice fasting is a very interesting and healthy way to lose weight. “A juice cleanse (three days minimum) is a great way to jump start a diet. It not only helps control appetite and cravings, but is naturally lower in calories, while supplying the body with probably more concentrated beneficial energizing and healing nutrients than it has seen before” (Merrell). Personally, I would never do something like that unless if I become overweight or obese. One of the lady that Joe interviewed said that she is not interested in fasting. She said people get sick, grumpy, pissed off at everyone. It is true that weight lost is possible but after a few weeks, the weight is gained back. I feel like I am one of those people. …show more content…
“Diseases occur due to the wrong foods we’ve been feeding our bodies through the years. Toxins from processed/refined foods (artificial food additives, preservatives, chemicals), and the polluted environment “clog” our cells, suffocating them and causing diseases, inflammation and pain” (Ding). The juice that is being consumed can clean our digestive system and boost our immune system. Another benefit is that because juice is a liquid, the body can absorbed the nutrients quickly. I believe fruits and veggies are probably the healthiest foods in this world because it is in their natural state, as in not

Lastly, the author claims that juicing can threaten the thyroid gland as some juices may contain ingredients like kale, bokchoy, spinach, and cauliflower, which contains…

    According to Zeratsky (2017), there is insufficient evidence to support that juicing is healthier than eating whole fruit (6). While juicing can provide necessary vitamins and minerals, it doesn’t provide adequate fiber when it is extracted from fruit (6). As far as fasting goes, the available scientific data is inconclusive (6). Kormos (2017) suggests that common diets propagate weight loss by reducing overall caloric intake needed to maintain one’s current body weight (7). Additionally, Kromos (2017) proposes that intermittent fasting may help an individual to lose weight by significant caloric restriction for a few days at a time during a week, when combined with routine caloric consumption on the days that follow after fasting (7).…

This fast was more difficult due to my friends trying to get in contact with me and facing boredom. My week long fast a few years ago was easier due to being in a hospital and having no technology allowed. This allowed me to meet many new people face-to-face and not behind a small, bring screen.…

    Walkout is a story based about school walkouts that happened in the sixties in East LA. I think this movie was very successful in portraying what was happening to the Mexican people during the sixties. The main theme in the movie that stuck out to me personally was simple, the students, who decided to take charge for themselves, and fight against the racist conditions they were dealing with in school. The impulsive walkouts spread to five different schools and during them the students argued for their right to speak their own language, Spanish, in the schools without being punished. They also fought to not be penalized by having their bathrooms locked anymore or to be put to work doing janitor duties.…
