Audience Member An excellent documentary about food and our eating habits. It discusses mistakes we've made along the way (ie the '50s and '60s) and then provides suggestions that are healthier. I liked that it wasn't too preachy or shoving messages down your throat (ie suggesting a mostly plant diet vs telling us to go full vegan). The main things I took away from this were: -don't trust any food packaging labels or ads on TV (read the nutritional chart instead) -don't each too much red meat -increase the amount of plants, vegetables and fruits that you eat -eat less and eat slower -REDUCE SUGAR INTAKE All of those are good suggestions and will help me live a healthier and longer life, and that's priceless. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked his balanced viewpoints. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
