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.
