Why so much hype?

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Simply Perfect

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The crew of this documentary follow some claims that ALL animal based food is bad for your health. One doctor presented a study that says 20% casein will encourage cancer in rats while 5% casein will make it go back. Then it jumps to the conclusion that ALL and ANY animal based proteins are a source of all evils in human health.Nowhere in the entire movie they will show proof that you need to be at 0% animal protein.When they talk about the low cancer rates in Japan they just skip the information that they are fish and seafood eaters and they just go to a study made in China.This is a terrible vegan PR movie. I'm not against vegan-ism, nor against vegetarianism, I'm just saying they pretend knowing everything while they don't seem to be able to distinguish left from right.My own conclusions after seeing this film is that people need to dial down their animal based diets. Not really not eat that, just do it in moderation, not on a daily basis.

After about 40 minutes I desperately wanted to turn this off. The whole thing starts to feel a little creepy like your being brainwashed or like a video trying to recruit you into a cult. I think in the whole video there is just one lady that gives opposing views. I have no doubt that a lot of what they said could have positive effects on you health however there is absolutely no evidence shown of any possible negative side effects to only eating plant based foods. After watching I decided to do some extra research and do feel this is made by two scientists who are overly excited about their research and needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, or a good steak ;)

There is no doubt that this documentary, like so many others is bias, in this case bias towards a vegan diet, and they do seem to leave out facts for that very same reason. However watching documentaries you should know that this is often the case, and you should do your own research and form your own opinion based on other sources than just the film. That said, a documentary is supposed to make you think, and this certainly did that for me. It moved my perception of and curiosity about diet more than any other film or article has. Perhaps it was the astounding facts it presented me with, perhaps it is because I am already looking more at what I eat than I used to. At any rate I highly recommend watching this and forming your own opinion. It does not lecture you about morals of eating meat or tries to make you a vegan to protect the environment. While it does briefly touch on the subject of energy footprint in food production, its most important and dominant message is your health, plane and simple. Do you think meat is vital for you health and survival? The answer this film gives might surprise you.

the negative reviews of this documentary must be from closed minded obese fools who are addicted to bad food, and/or work in the big agriculture or big pharmaceutical industries. between this, Food Inc, Vegucated, Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, Hungry For Change, and Super Size Me, how can anyone not see a whole foods plant based diet is optimal for good health, and the standard American diet (sad) is awful? and I didn't get from this film ALL cancers would be prevented or reversed, just the ones that come from poor diet. if you ate and drank a perfect diet and smoked 4 packs of cigarettes a day of course you're going to get lung cancer.while some medical professionals have tried to debunk FOK, none of them come close to having the credentials, training, experience, etc... doctors Campbell, Esselstyn, and McDougall do. it's like a first grader debunking Shakespeare.bottom line - don't want most cancers, type 2 diabetes, and/or to be fat/obese? DON'T!
