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.

This movie changed my life. It changed my health, the way I view the world and provided me an entire new perspective and appreciation for how I treat my body by how I eat.

As another reviewer has stated, I have reservations against the movie being soft on sugar and the effect it has. Now while there might be more factors rather than just the sugar, no one should downplay the effect of it. It's also strange that only the same people are being asked and all of them are very much anti-meat. Having said all that, it's also very strange that certain organisations get sponsored by firms they probably should warn consumers about.So there is a lot going on and you probably shouldn't just take everything as truth, but don't dismiss it either. The movie may be able to make you think about the way you eat or maybe even change your diet alltogether. The one thing that is necessary while watching though, is being open minded. It does paint quite a dark picture on almost anything we eat, so it won't be easy. But also listen when it tells us about coorporations trying to sell us products they shouldn't be selling us ...

WHAT THE HEALTH was a very entertaining documentary specifically aimed at the meat eating crowd and making them realize that their on the road to hell if they keep their diets unaltered. Meat from cows, fish, poultry and dairy foods take the beat. The documentary features what you'd expect from a diehard vegan producer: government conspiracies, health agencies being sponsored by the companies responsible for the junk food you eat, the pharmaceutical industry's perennial blame that they want to keep people "sick" in order to sell their drugs, etc. Most of the evidence is compelling, until the documentary turns into a vegan commercial with testimonies from people who changed their diets and experienced "miraculous" changes in their health. Funny thing is, WHAT THE HEALTH never talks about the veggies you eat, the pestecides they use in farming, the toxic waters used to feed these plants, etc. It's a very one sided view of things. I rarely eat meat. I actually eat more vegetables than processed meats, but I just found this documentary very subjective. I'm sure eating more veggies and fruits will make for a more healthy diet, but if that's so, how did our ancestors survive for thousands of years by eating (at times) raw and uncooked meat?!?!? That's something that's never addressed in this vegan documentary.
