After seeing these documentaries, what kind of ethical stance do you have about food, or rather, what are your expectations of the food industry?  In your view, do businesses bear any responsibility for the delivery of food?  And do they bear any responsibility toward behavior at all? 

• Regarding the choices made by adults?  Is obesity a choice that businesses can or should ignore?  
• Are corporations responsible to provide information about calories and activity to mitigate obesity?
• Ultimately, is there shared responsibility for the choice and availability of food that individuals consume?
• Should the food industry be held to a different standard than other industries?
