abhishekshr Nicely done and very informative documentary. For healthy society and healthy and better planet earth plant based diet seems to be the answer.
astha-17651 This movie poses as being an unbiased opinion, but only promotes "vegan". Isn't vegan in itself a fad which this movie is trying to promote.
William Warby Food Choices is a relentlessly biased opinion piece about the benefits of veganism, presented with all the appearance of a well researched and scientifically valid exploration of the facts whilst actually comprising almost entirely of cherry picked research presented by a parade of disingenuous quacks.Pay close attention to the credentials of the speakers as they are presented on screen and Google them. Note the total absence of professional scientific researchers and the abundance of "nutrition experts", "wellness advocates" and "alternative" therapy practitioners. You will find the speakers are a whose-who of self-serving peddlers of anti-science nonsense who promote their harmful ideas in faddy diet books.Using techniques that are intellectually indistinguishable from those of climate change deniers and 9/11 truthers, the filmmakers present a counter- narrative to conventional wisdom on diet and seamlessly weave together unsubstantiated theory with real but cherry picked scientific research. The effect is compelling, especially if the pre-determined conclusion of the study is already appealing to the viewer.Veganism may indeed be a perfectly valid and healthy lifestyle choice and some of the information presented in this film may well be true - I don't know and I don't believe there is anywhere near the level of scientific consensus on the matter as there is on climate change for example. My point is not that the conclusions of the filmmakers are necessarily wrong, it is that they weren't seeking to discover the truth in the first place but rather to provide a rationalisation for a pre-established point of view. This is documentary filmmaking at it's worst.
Krista G. I would very much recommend this movie to anyone. The goal of this movie is to show a healthy and sustainable diet for everyone. It shows how nutrition today confuses most people. Everyone is reading papers and trying new diets, but little do they know most information is conflicting and wrong. Protein deficiency? Americans always think they're not getting enough protein, but this is how health problems increase. The documentary started out slow,but in 10 minutes it started to grab my attention. Not only did it include great facts, but they had many people talk in this such as; PhD. Pamela Popper. There were so many things I never knew or would've guessed to be true. I would show this to anyone interested in today's food. This video is educating, motivating, and eventful.
