"The Genesis Of Obesity" is a video that portrays the predatory tactics that fast food corporations use when marketing to the consumer, specifically youth. In watching this video you will go through a storm of images and sound that are meant to reflect the style that is used by these multinationals when flooding the media with their images.

Furthermore, it is a commentary and reflection on the direction that Big Media has taken and it's role in portraying, and therefore transforming, pop culture.

This Political Remix Video is a critical, satirical and transformative work that constitutes a Fair Use in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107.
