From obsessiveness about constipation that led to protein terror, through the low-fat/no-fat sideshow, Americans have continued to search for the elusive "magic bullet. It doesn't exist and never will," Pollan says in his convincingly argued [film]. Go to Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice 03/29/2016

04/05/2019 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.
