About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an accessible, funny-but-serious wake-up call about everyday eating and hidden sugar, similar to Forks Over Knives; Not for you if you want a fully balanced debate or dislike message-driven docs.
Pros: eye-opening hidden sugar facts; entertaining, easy to follow; relatable personal experiment | Cons: feels predictable at times; some find it biased; a bit dry in places
