In the new trailer, even First Lady Michelle Obama’s exercise-first approach to childhood weight issues is subtly mocked. Commenters ranging from Bill Clinton and Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, to Michael Pollan and Mark Bittman help build the argument that the obesity crisis was brought on by greedy junk food companies, permissive federal legislation and subsidies, and a government that tells us that systemic weight gain is all our fault.  “The government is subsidizing the obesity epidemic,” Pollan says in the trailer.  “Junk food companies are acting very much like tobacco companies did 30 years ago,” Bittman says in the trailer.
