Fed Up shows how the first dietary guidelines issued by the U.S. government 30 years ago overlooked the role of dietary sugar in increasing risks of obesity, diabetes, and associated ill-health outcomes, particularly in children. Since these guidelines effectively condoned unlimited addition of sugar to foods consumed by children, sugar consumption has greatly increased, obesity has skyrocketed, and generations of children have grown up far fatter than their parents. These children face impaired health and shorter lifespans as a result. As the relationship between the high-sugar diet and poor health has emerged, entrenched sugar industry interests with almost unlimited financial lobbying resources have beaten back attempts by parents, schools, states, and in Congress to provide a healthier diet for children.

Tous cobayes ? se compose de deux volets. Le premier volet montre la supposée dangerosité d'une alimentation contenant des organismes génétiquement modifiés (OGM) alors que le second expose les risques engendrés par les centrales nucléaires. Le film tente de montrer que l'Homme s'est approprié ces technologies sans tests sanitaires ni environnementaux approfondis alors que la contamination irréversible du vivant est réelle. Le film pose la question « Serions-nous tous des cobayes ? ».
