DORAL, FL, UNITED STATES, June 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “Food Lies1: Mentiras Procesadas”, a new short-form documentary directed and produced by Luis Luyando and Willy Martin, premieres today on YouTube, exposing the unsettling truth behind ultra-processed foods and their devastating impact on public health.— Willy Martin
With concise storytelling, visual impact, and expert insight, this documentary confronts the silent epidemic caused by chemicals, additives, and marketing manipulation in the food industry.
The 13-minute film combines investigative storytelling with a bold visual aesthetic to reveal how what we eat is not only reshaping our bodies, but also our minds. “We’re not just eating snacks — we’re consuming substances designed to addict, distract, and deteriorate,” says co-director Luis Luyando.
The project also includes the creative input of Enrique José Rodríguez, who served as Associate Producer. A seasoned communicator with a background in branding, media, and motivational coaching, Rodríguez brings a deep understanding of how messages can shift consumer awareness and behavior.
The documentary features expert commentary from:
Belén Maldonado, Dietitian
Carina Castro Fumero, Clinical Psychologist
Michelle Peiret, Nutritionist and Wellness Coach
Simón Álvarez, Researcher and Food Educator
Together, they explore how foods that dominate grocery shelves — from sugary cereals to pre-packaged snacks — are linked to rising rates of obesity, diabetes, mental health disorders, and loss of agency over personal health.
In a media landscape saturated with food marketing, “Food Lies: Mentiras Procesadas” dares to ask:
What if breakfast is poison?
What if what we eat is programming us?
What if your food is lying to you?
The film marks a new chapter in short documentaries using storytelling to educate and spark critical thinking on issues affecting the Hispanic community and beyond.
“People deserve to know what’s in their food and how it’s impacting their lives. We created this as a wake-up call,” says Willy Martin, co-director and Emmy-winning producer.
