Here are videos I found quite informative.

These videos interview author Ann Vileisis regarding her book "Kitchen Literacy." Her book's subject matter materialized after she realized her lack of knowledge concerning the foods where she shopped. Ann's website also has a page of her audio and video interview links.

Due to the extensive amount of video clips regarding this movie, I have a more detailed King Corn page for pertaining videos.

Besides spoofs filmed by the producers of King Corn, others had similar replies to the pro-HFCS commercials produced by the HFCS industry. Also included in the HFCS Ad Spoofs, Etc. link are other videos relating to the dangers of High-Fructose Corn Syrup.

Movie details:

Peter Jennings Reporting: How to Get Fat Without Really Trying (2003) 43 min. "Obesity is fast on its way to becoming the nation's largest and most costly public health problem. While much of the public debate about obesity has focused on personal responsibility, PETER JENNINGS REPORTING: HOW TO GET FAT WITHOUT EVEN TRYING reveals how federal government agricultural policies and food industry practices are contributing to America's growing obesity epidemic."

Deborah Koons Garcia: The Future of Food (2004 film, 2007 DVD) 88 min. "Deborah Koons Garcia, the widow of the legendary Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, takes an in-depth look at the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decades."

Morgan Spurlock: SuperSize Me (2004) 103 min. "In SUPER SIZE ME, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a "McDonald's only" diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it is horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death."
