Let's be honest, our lifestyles and food habits are atrocious. This documentary gives it to you straight...to stay healthy you need to go back to basics. This is eye-opening. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Movie Reviews
Everybody should watch this movie
J. Brown | 01/24/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a great movie that everybody in the industrialized world should watch, especially America. It's probably not going to keep you hanging on the edge of your seat since it's mostly interviews with various people. However, the information contained within is priceless. If you read lots of health books it'll probably help reinforce what you already know and if you don't it will probably inspire you to start. If you're new to the kind of info presented in this documentary you might want to check out these books:
1. Ultraprevention by Mark Hyman and Mark Liponis
2. Empty Harvest by Bernard Jensen and Mark Anderson
3. 50 Secrets of the World's Longest Living People by Sally Beare
There are countless other great books but this is a start. I hope this movie and others like it inspire more people to start taking responsibility for their health."
Very well organized and fact supported movie.

"This should be vital material to watch if you're in the medical or nutrition/physical fitness world and have an impact on teaching others about how to take care of and heal themselves.
This is what the mainstream schools miss and don't teach, even though after the movie you'll feel like you've just seen something that makes such plain sense, but is not widely held as truth.
I encourage for people to have viewing parties with this and spread the message. Why else is cancer affecting 1 in every 2 people, neurological diseases going through the roof and diabetes out of control for our children and adults.
Encouraging you to quit reading this review and grab the movie (I think it's on netflix as well or you can download it from their website). I am a PT and this was information that I can easily use to pass onto my patients. It's good common sense information that can make you stop and realize that what you eat is much more important vs. how much you eat."
You ARE What You Eat!

"This was one of the MOST informative documentaries that I have ever watched. Everything I saw shocked me in a good way and sparked a change in my lifestyle. Everyone who has health issues should watch this, and get educated about nutrition. It makes a BIG difference."
CHANGE YOUR DIET-SAVE THE PLANET

"INCREDIBLY INFORMATIVE DVD.LOTS OF NEW AND OLD SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT HOW WHAT WE EAT EFFECTS OUR HEALTH AND WELL BEING. SOME DE-BUNKING OF DISINFORMATION. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I WENT AWAY WITH IS THE KNOWLEDGE THAT A MEDICAL DOCTOR, WHO I ALWAYS THOUGHT WAS THERE TO GET ME HEALTHY IS ACTUALLY TRAINED BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY TO PRESCRIBE MEDICINE. THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY PAYS FOR MOST OF THE STUDIES AND PROFESSIONAL MAGAZINES, UNDERWRITES MEDICAL RESEARCH, MEDICAL SCHOOLS-AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY'S GOAL IS TO MAKE MONEY. WATCH IT FOR AN EYE OPENING, MIND EXPANDING VIEW OF WHAT WE DO EVERY DAY - WE EAT."
This movie changed my life

"I bought this movie because I was interested in getting some information about the food we are eating. I used the reviews to make my decision and I wasn't disappointed. This movie seriously changed my life. I recently lost a loved one to Cancer. It just doesn't make sense and maybe this movie has a point that more people should be listening to. The statistic that less than 5% of doctors are taught about nutrition tells me that doctors are paid based on people getting sick and not people getting well. It would be interesting to see if the government stopped subsidizing corn and instead subsidized organic meats, fruits and veggies how many health issues would be eliminated. How about that for a healthcare plan! To yourself a favor and buy this movie. I have already bought another copy and sent it to a friend as a gift."
