BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
tessturberfield Most of the claims in this documentary are false, and some are down right dangerous! (You CANT eat as many vitamin supplements as you like, you can overdose and get adverse side effects, get your vitamins from fruit and veg and they're completely safe though) The 'experts' in this clearly have no idea what they're talking. It's a shame because healthy eating is an important message, but they've warped this message so much. Eating a plant based diet is incredibly good for, especially making your own food instead of eating processed food, but most of the 'science' in this is completely false. And vitamins are good for you, eat as many as you can, but in the form of fruit and vegetables! This is in no way dangerous and the best way to uptake vitamins.
corwin_allison36 The basis for this entire documentary is that they food we put into our bodies is not good for us and we take too much medicine. So much of the food we eat today is, compared to years ago, is covered in pesticides and produced in an unhealthy way. We are putting all of those toxins in our bodies and our bodies are then getting "defensive" and it acts like the body is being intruded. What they are saying about pesticides not being good for us is true, but not everyone has access to fresh, raw, organic foods. They come across like you're a horrible person if you don't eat the way they want you to. They also talk about how we take too much medicine. Every problem, even if its a little one, here we go, busting out the meds. While yes, its true that we do take a lot of medicine, it doesn't necessarily mean that we are being horrible to our body. I had a headache the other day, I did everything I could to get it to go away. I shut the blinds in my room, turned off the lights and the television, laid down, and closed my eyes. My headache never went away, it had been hours since it started, but I didn't want to take medicine for it. Eventually I decided to because it was getting annoying. THe medicine kicked and it went away. I haven't had a headache since. Medicine isn't always bad. Later on in the document they discuss cancer. Charlotte Gerson said that our body is amazing at what it can do. While i do agree with her, I do start to disagree when she says that the way we eat basically makes cancer develop. If we change our eating habits to the fresh, raw, organic food, our body will be able to fight off any cancer that tries to form. That is just simply untrue. I know one person and have heard of others being really super healthy and still getting cancer. The person I know lives in Los Angeles, has money, and access to these kinds of foods. He's always drinking water, eating right, taking care of his body, and he still got cancer. I think that the people in this video are very one sided and need to look at everything from both sides of the spectrum.
kl807513 My review of the Documentary Food Matters, that overall it was an interesting documentary with content that many people would not know about. The documentary uses many nutritionist and people with PhDs talk about the medical professions and how they do not know about nutrition. In the documentary, they did not organize the content very well and switched topics very quickly to where they missed some of the things they wanted to say and had to come back to it. Some of the people who were interviewed, only saw things the way they wanted to see it. Some of them took a one sided argument and did not care to see doctor's point of view when it comes to medicine. On top of this, some of the interviewees made some claims that were very hard to believe to be true. In one instance of this, the guy states "by cleansing your body and drinking lots of water, I know a guy that lost 15 pounds in one day." Anyone with common sense would know that this is nearly impossible and if it is possible, then it very unhealthy and no one, especially someone with PhD, should not be promoting someone to lose weight that quickly. There were also other claims that were made in this documentary that I find very hard to be true and it does not seem that they are able to prove a lot of their "facts".On the other end of the spectrum, much of the content was very good information that more people need to know about. I believe that it is important that more people care about their health and that they change what they put into their bodies to help themselves. American people also need to realize how some drug can have many negative effects on them, if not kill them and if there is another way to go about fixing the issue that is healthier and more natural than people should try to use the healthier way.
js-theauthor This movie is outstanding. It should be mandatory to be shown to every one who cares about "health care" in the US. The cartel and money- driven actors in this massive industry are encouraged to let people get sick, and then treat them with expensive pharmaceuticals and medical procedures. "Specialists" MD's have become singularly minded in their patient interactions, such that anything that is complex, multi-system, and doesn't drive to an expensive procedure is brushed off an "unremarkable". Sick people and their families are often distraught not so much about their illnesses, but about the woeful "bedside manner" of so many doctors, who show little ability to think outside the box, let alone reinforce nutritional and wellness best practices at every turn. If the AMA and other medical industry organizations truly were effective and cared to truly "fix" the health outcomes of our 310 million citizens while dramatically lowering the costs associated to it, the look and feel of our mini-marts, supermarkets, fast food restaurants....and physical appearance of millions of Americans...would be much different.
