Hopefully you're aware this movie is pro-vegan. Any viewer should educate themselves on what is true and what is a stretched viewpoint. Interesting that reviews on here are incredibly one sided where viewers have strongly taken to defending (or not) the subject. I'm not sure when a diet turned into a religion where adopters try to spread the "idea" to others, even going as far as manipulating data. Why does one care what another eats? The only good point is they're attempting to reduce the obesity epidemic which is obviously a problem. There's more than one solution however.

Don't know what to think. Some of what was said in the film seems a bit far fetched. However, I do think a plant based diet is beneficial. When I think about foods I was told are supposed to be good for my body, I often had/have to force myself to eat or drink them, like dairy, eggs, animal flesh. When I look at them raw and uncooked they make me want to gag. Often times I have to eat something sweet after eating them so I don't throw up. I can't think of any vegetables or fruit that make me want to barf! This has always been the case for me, even when I was a kid and I am 52 now. Seems to me my body knows what is best for it, so I am going to stick to a plant based diet, only eating that other stuff on occasion.

What the Health (2017) is a film that takes a stand on the current state of the food industry. The directors, Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn, use the film as a mode of exposing the meat and dairy industry and government-funded health organizations; they claim that animal-based products are just as cancerous as cigarettes, and are the reason why the western world is so disease-ridden. The way the directors' present their claims is weak and poorly constructed. During my viewing, I was questioning if the film was actually presenting reality. This was especially true during the last third of the film, which is almost completely dedicated to presenting personal stories of people who were ill but were "cured" by plant-based diets. Some of the interviewees said they felt more energetic and overall healthier shortly after. One interviewee apparently went from taking pills every day to being completely healthy in only two weeks after making the switch. I hate to dismiss this, but it seems too good to be true, and no scientific evidence was presented to show the new diet actually made a difference. The problem with this film is the directors' trustworthiness. I agree that processed foods may be causing illnesses, but until more studies are published showing that plant-based diets are better, I don't think you can completely undermine the benefits of animal-based products. Overall, I'd say this film is worth a viewing.

10 minutes in, I had to stop, first time reviewing anything and seeing the amount of 10/10 this documentary has makes me wonder.. Apparently sugars are our riskless friends. Obesity comes from meat, obviously. As it is NOT a food the "homo gender" hate for thousands of years.. right?
