Humans and animals were never designed to survive on this stuff - much less thrive.

No wonder obesity and all the attendant conditions are at crisis levels in this country.
I haven't seen the film, but I highly doubt that obesity and its issues are due to pesticides and GM seeds in base foods. I'm quite sure it has to do with unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles. It doesn't matter if your hamburger and fries are all made from organic sources, they're still ridiculously high in fat and calories, and if you sit at a computer all day, you don't work that off.
