Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) People of all backgrounds can find a useful message in Kennamer's film. There's not a lot of debate about the idea that we could all use a few more vegetables in our diets and a lot less junk food. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 17, 2017 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Filled with useful and essential information that could inspire you to become a vegetarian or vegan and to steer clear of any food product that has more than a few ingredients in its label. Rated: 8.45/10 Dec 16, 2016 Full Review Harvey S. Karten Compuserve Valuable nutrition information that they do not teach in med school, but course level 101 if you've not kept up with recent controversies.

the s This documentary is actually pretty maddening. And there is at least some factually wrong information included in it. There's 45 minutes of people who eat healthy talking about how they "thought" they were eating healthy (spoiler alert: they actually were eating healthy) but according to the documentary, they were eating "junk." Never mind that they're eating 90 times better than the average American, it's still not "healthy." But the filmmakers never really make it clear how eating healthy isn't considered "healthy" in their minds. Yes, we get Americans eat garbage and garbage causes inflammation and illness but the diet these people finally suggest is WAY out of the reach (economically) of the average American and you'd have to adjust your entire life to make it work. Who doesn't have 3 hours per day to prepare "healthy" meals? LOL Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Dave E It is a commercial for Veganism that contains interesting information for anyone considering that lifestyle. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/20 Full Review Audience Member Muy bien intencionado, documentado de regular forma, con muchos médicos hablando y con el impulso de los testimonios de James Cameron, Samuel J. Jackson y Penn Jillett, pero nada de esto salva el documental. Tiene muchas imprecisiones, afirma muchas cosas sin un fundamento científico real, así lo afirmen médicos, nunca se consulta a un investigador de ciencia básica, y se terminan asumiendo muchas cosas. Es un lástima pues el tema es muy bueno, la dieta sana es nuestra única salida, pero la forma en que lo intentan demostrar es pésima. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent & informative. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Another excellent documentary on the health benefits of plant-based eating!! Wow, I'm so inspired to take my already vegan diet to the next level and cut out the added oils, sugars, and fats! This film will change and even save people's lives! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/18 Full Review Audience Member I learned a lot from this film, enough to make me want to make changes to the way I eat. I had no idea how many people are impacted by chronic diseases because of how they eat, and the film made me want to look into healthier ways of eating. I also liked how you can tell that the information is coming from reputable sources. This is a must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
