Diet Fiction

Dont waste your time. There are more lies than facts in this doco. .

We're told "Potato chips & donuts have more fat than carbs" HUH? False.. Most popular brand chips & donuts have 2 or 3 times more total carbs than total fats.

Then we're told "the average saturated fat content in red meat is 40%, lean chicken breast 30%, wild salmon 20% and eggs 20%". HUH?? False, False, False and False. Any nutritional website will tell you its more like between 3% - 5% for each of these foods.

I switched it off at this point. waste of time.

Vegans think that they are on a crusade and that eating a plant base diet is an activism act, for the cause, the the planet and for themselves. One of the speaker's at the end tells it exactly as it is. That is why they produce propaganda pieces to push in their mind the only legitimate way of life and diet. Sorry but its not. As per all the reviews here, people are not fooled by your propaganda. The problems is that, yes 75% of what you are saying is true but you are destroying the message because you are pushing the 25% not true and this is the best proof that you care more about the cause than about helping people eat better. I will tell you a little secret, only siths thinks in absolute.

Starts off with good points, then hard leans into one sided views, accusation of people in not following science backed data while claiming that they do rant about cherry picking studies then lead off into things they have cherry picked themselves I had to turn it off there where to many variables they where skipping over, so sad I really thought this Doc was gonna be on the rite path for once. There are studies out that give good insite, just not doc films (yet) everyone is different, do your own research. Find what works best for you don't get to hooked on it... the body changes with each progression into a heathier life style be willing to adapt with it. This movies title was accurate though lol just another "diet fiction" film.

This is a pro-vegan documentary that features some well-known vegan advocates and doctors and other random people like the CEO of Whole Foods who isn't an expert but is a billionaire elitist who wants to not give his workers health care because he thinks they aren't eating properly and a guy and a guy who looks and acts like a budget Tony Robbins knock-off.

The movie is filled with misinformation, like telling people that they can get enough fat and protein from things like strawberries and protein which is doubly stupid given that there are plants like avocado and soybeans that are good sources of those things - and this coming from supposed health experts. And of course there are tons of wild and unsubstantiated claims about how you can reverse all your problems with their approach.

The movie is also really nasty to people - dieters are painted as stupid and irresponsible and the only proper diet they approve of is expensive and very restrictive oh but you're an irresponsible idiot if you don't do it.

The takeaway is that this is obvious propaganda and that vegans are elitist rich people who think you're dumb trash which doesn't make eating a more plant-based diet appealing which is what I guess it was trying to do but I think all it accomplishes is make the people who made it happen feel better about themselves and line their pockets a bit more.

I felt the film was somewhat bias with its message so I came here to see who sponsored the film, in other words who funded the message but it looks to be missing from the profile. Aside from that, I agreed with most of the film's content. Please remember to think critically and not follow blindly, good health to you all :)
