In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

“Fed Up” mostly avoids woke tropes, focusing on America’s sugar problem. While it’s critical of industry and mainstream health advice, it doesn’t sacrifice story for identity politics or fall into ideological uniformity, landing on the non-woke side of the spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary maintains focus on its subject, America’s obesity crisis and sugar consumption. It doesn’t shoehorn identity themes or prioritize characters’ race, gender, or sexuality. Narrative integrity is largely intact, with ideology taking a back seat to investigative reporting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film criticizes industry and aspects of modern parenting, it doesn’t overtly attack religion, traditional family structures, or masculinity. Some viewers may interpret its attack on personal responsibility messaging as undercutting traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film leans into a specific critique of the food industry and public health messaging, but it is not a left-wing echo chamber. Alternative views (like personal responsibility) are presented, even if challenged. There’s some bias, but not overwhelming monoculture.
