BIG SUGAR ENTERTAINMENT or not: Fanjul’s try to control movies, TV, what’s next?

Very interesting eye-opener. Very well made film that makes the viewer understand that the name Big Sugar is as fitting for describing the business as Big Tobacco is to tobacco. Very similar businesses indeed. It was quite shocking to learn that the industry today probably is worse than tobacco industry, as I am aware of there are no slaves in the present tobacco industry… And shocking to learn that the industry is so heavily subsidized in the USA. It’s funny that what may eventually make people use less sugar is not the corruption, lies and misuse of power that the industry represents, but instead the effect it has on their own health. Who cares about other people, specially the poor?

oh wow. I'm on call and have been working all day and just saw this. thank you. I 'm going to reach out to my documentary community and see if there is anything else to add to this and all day long i've been wanting rewatch "Thank you you for not smoking" Hopefully the day will end soon. Thanks again so much!
and i'm trying to get a hold of that movie "The Sugar Babies," I was at the Delray Beach Film Festival that year and I have no memory of it but usually I running around with a bunch of camera's helping out.
