THE KIDS MENU is a documentary feature created by the same team behind “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.” During his global travels for his previous films, filmmaker Joe Cross encountered thousands of individuals who repeatedly raised concerns about the escalating issue of childhood obesity. In THE KIDS MENU, Joe engages with specialists, parents, educators, and children, ultimately discovering that childhood obesity is merely a symptom of a larger issue. This includes a lack of understanding about what constitutes healthy food, limited access to nutritious and affordable options, and the impact of negative role models, whether they be parents, teachers, or celebrities. Although these challenges seem daunting, when children are empowered, they often surprisingly choose healthier lifestyles.
