Most critics agree with the film and highly recommend it, although other critics take issue with the film, stating that it inflated the facts by blaming a single nutrient, sugar , which could lead to overweight and obesity. In 1977, the United States government produced a document titled “Dietary Goals for the United States.” This document establishes the dietary goals we know today. The recommended carbohydrate intake in 1977 was 55%-60%, with a sugar intake of 15%. In 2010, i.e. the most current, it is recommended to consume 45%-65% and 5%-15% sugar. The movie mentioned that carbohydrates that contain processed starch have the same effect as pure sugar. According to Hardvard TH Chan of the School Of Public Health, when the public consumes food containing carbohydrates, the body digests it into sugar. Critics Steve Dorfman, Michael Sauter, and David Templeton all agree that the government, the media, and the sugar industry play a major role in America's rising obesity epidemic. They also make valid points that the average American is consuming more sugar than before. Although Jerry Hagstrom and the International Food Council Foundation claim that the film Fed Up makes inflated claims, the facts presented are significant enough to be noted. American government policy effectively regulates the safety of the food industry, albeit for a long time
