Food Choices

This is not about being vegan or vegetarian. At one point in the film it pokes fun at how unhealthy vegans/vegetarians can be...eating potato chips and drinking coke can be vegan. This was about a lifestyle choice to eat more plant based foods and more likely avert the many chronic metabolic syndromes that have become far too common. It's tough to make the change, but I've recently tried it, eat all I want, and have lost ~30 lbs so far. After 15 yrs my total cholesterol is finally under 200 as well as most other numbers greatly improving, and this has happened after only a couple months of eating this way. Simple choice is to eat better and feel better, or to one day have a great chance of being forced into taking an assortment of pharmaceuticals with all their costs and lovely side effects. This lifestyle may not make you live longer, but your quality of life will be much better.

I found it to be the most comprehensive and objectively presented approach to understanding food and health. More importantly it approached the subject like the average person would who is trying to sift through all the unqualified information out there that is NOT scientifically backed by research and data. It has profoundly affected me and my attitude about animal based food products and long term health. Just watch it and make your own decisions. But watch it.

Gives a great overview of the problem with the standard American diet and what we can do instead. Highly recommend for yo-yo dieters like I used to be. I had an a1c of over 11, now my daily blood sugar readings have dropped over 150 points. All thanks to many of the experts in this documentary.

Subject of agriculture methods is important one, health as well, but this docu is very biased, dismissing the other sides that are not vegan/vegetarian. It almost seems like a glorification of vegan/vegetarian diet.

It would be great to hear other experts that partly or completely disagree, sure there are some. That would be far more scientific, as this docu seems to want to come of as one to care about scientific research and evidence.

I think one should watch every side to get as many arguments as possible to be able to weight in ond them and decide for them selves.

Therefore one should watch eve this one. IMHO.

Some may say this is a documentary about veganism, but it is not. It is a film on choices and every consumer does what he or she wants. You can't ignore the effects meat and dairy have on our health, environment and lifestyle. The meat industry is a literal and figurative killer and it's sad that some reviewers do not want to see that.
