The 2008 documentary Fat Head, which is a rebuttal to the documentary 2004 Super Size Me, talks about the US government funding fake food science.
It is worth a watch, and worth showing to those who have been fooled by fake food science.

I remember being so confused why Super Size Me was s given so much praise. Eating lots of fast food is unhealthy. Shocker
It wasn't even a good "experiment" because the dude was a severe alcoholic at the same time, which unsurprisingly was not mentioned at all. Attributing liver failure solely to the fast food and not the handle of liquor he was drinking a day
How else are going to make something sensational?
