Hungry for Change

Hungry for Change is a documentary that denounces the Food & Beverage industry, holding it largely responsible for obesity and consequential unhealthiness in the US. It condemns the dieting industry for maintaining the status quo while disguised as a cure.

So, how do you lose weight, regain energy and treat any associated illnesses? Hungry for Change promotes the consumption of natural whole foods as the only real solution. The film is not too loaded or soppy (my main complaint with these types of documentaries), and extremely interesting.

This film won't come as a revelation for those who are already nutrition-conscious, but it's a great reminder not to fall for that refreshing diet soda anytime soon. I highly recommend the watch to those who have a desire to lose weight and have tried every fad diet without success, for those who feel plain unhealthy and need a change.

I don't understand why some people here keep on saying another infomercial. Really? You did not get the point at all? Just because the people in this documentary are authors selling books about health doesn't mean they are promoting their products. Where in the film did they promote it because I want to see.

The message is CRYSTAL-CLEAR. CHOOSE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. It's sad that some people fail to see it instead writing a negative review that this documentary gave them BS after 10 minutes. If this film judged the fat people, call them names, and blame their choice of food in an unspeakable terms then I will surely write a negative review. But none of it was delivered in this film.

I'm not going to buy a juicer. But after seeing this documentary participated by health experts and medical doctors, I now have a different approach to eating food. I choose healthy lifestyle because I do not want to get sick and pay for high health care costs. It is my choice.

Wow, it's crazy how there are 4 reviews that slam the movie, yet it's overall rating is still high.

Maybe it's because you have people like melinda2001 who thinks "Glutamate" is the "G" in ATGC. Try guanine, not glutamate.

While I believe any movie is open to criticism, even these "Food Matters" films, I think this production has been one of the most sane ones. Why?

Unlike the juicing, vegan, raw food, etc movies, this one was more balanced. One contributor even said, if you can do small steps like reducing red meat intake, it will be helpful.

The main message I took away was to try to shift away from the processed and more to the whole foods. What's wrong with that?

Remember, IMDb has a weighted rating system to filter out new people, weak reviewers, etc. This movie is still a solid 7. I suggest you watch it for yourself before you believe the conventional wisdom posted by others like melinda2001.

I'm going to put it like this. i love my fast food and fatty convenience packaged meals. fruit and veg, never touch them.

I was so inspired at one hour in, that i paused the video and ended up eating a bowl overloaded with raw veges and fruit.

through the beginning I did find it to be dis-interesting. and nearly turned it off. i'm just pleased i stuck it out.

the overall message is clear and the point does come across. at times some of the info does seem to be directive at putting down major corporations. and at times a little far fetched. but as i watched i did sift through an take away the vital points i see as worth. which have been of an unparalleled value to me.

http://www.hungryforchange.tv/first-20-minutes check out the website. if you trust that jack canfield, tony robbins, etc., endorse for the right reasons, then i hope you will ignore the previous reviewers comments which appear to be unfounded and not researched. it's not a 3 day cancer cure. it's a way for people who are suffering everywhere to try economical, healthy, non-cell killing options for healthy living and if they are sick.

when you sick, even an incremental improvement is appreciated and often motivates the person to do more.

or you can take the pills the $80k a year pharmaceutical rep is actually prescribing since doctors know very little about pharmaceuticals.

or you can follow the advice of a physician constrained by 15 minute appts and probably not one of the ~11% of doctors who have knowledge of nutrition -- and enter the vicious cycle that the medical, insurance companies and PHARMECUTICALS are in business to profit from.

test your doctor. ask them what the nutritional diet is for the diagnosis they've provided and try that first before taking any prescriptions (with doctor supervision). good luck.

Hippocrates said Let food be your medicine. duh.
