Looks good, and timely.

1. I argued this with a transplant pathologist once....

Nothing I could say would make her change her mind.

She said: Will power. I said: Sugar and asked "How come the mass introduction of HFCS and obesity correlate so well?"

She said: Look to the culture. I said: Look at the science on metabolism.

At stake: Who gets organs. I was in the peanut gallery.

2. If HFCS fatten cows (for slaughter) why would it do anything different in homo sapiens?

I like that they address the "will power" thing in this film. It is a smoke screen.

4. and more than just "Who gets organs?". It was exploding as the cause for transplant failure....

The Role of Obesity in Kidney Transplantation Outcome.

Doctors (and Pathologists) were coming to see the obese as, well, ruining their batting averages and wasting organs.
