Fat Fiction

I have been a cook for 18 years. I was taught that the Food Pyramid is our guide for cooking healthy cooking. We have turned people into junkies, craving sugar and Carbohydrates. Thank you for making this documentary.

I thought I was well informed in this area but I quickly realized early on, I've been kidding myself. What an enlightening documentary. I thought I had a handle on a healthy diet! Wrong! This is thanks to years of brainwashing me, us, what they want us to believe what's a healthy diet. I liked how the information was presented. Not preachy and easy to follow, to understand. I walked away much better informed and know where I'll be making some changes in my diet! Bravo, well done folks!!

I was familiar already with the topic at hand and the research behind it is as sound as nutritional studies can get(which is not a lot). The real issue is how the documentary was presented, it was like it spent too much time beating around the bush, going in circles and repeating points. It also did not help that at times it went for smug analogies to sway opinions( how many times you had orange juice in the last year?... and so on). I dont know what was the intention of the documentary but what i know is that you either try to be accessible and resonate with the masses or you are diligent and accurate. In the end it feels like this one kind of failed at both. Not really recommended, there are 10 minutes videos on youtube who convey the same amount of information

This is a fantastic documentary. The facts that it contain show the real truth about food, sugar and fat. Please watch this movie - it may change your life - to the better. It did for me. You will find out that most people are stuffing themself full of sugar - in many cases without even knowing or thinking about it. And that is like taking poison for the body. The doc also show the shady business that's going on among the people that have recommended a dangerous diet for decades, hurting and killing people in the long run by doing so.

... olive oil, avocado and walnut smoothies to start; pork crackling, lardons and black pudding for main; followed by sugar free dripping ice cream - washed down with a bottle of Thunderbird Red, or Blue if it's the weekend.

Fat does not make you fat, this has been acknowledged for some time now, as has the the role of the corrupt sugar mafia - no harm in re-amplifying that, and it's welcome. The fact is that when you shuffle, the world will still be no wiser to what's good for you than the hunter-gatherer that set the standard some time ago.
