Personally, i thought it brought some important info into the mainstream, which i am thankful for. Those who make money off your poor health, and those who make money off of selling you crap food, certainly didn't like the message, and i think that is why there has been such a backlash against it. I highly recommend the movie!

What about all the people making money off of peoples' fears and misconceptions about how our food system really works?

The truth is the truth, and everyone needs to make a living. If someone makes money by telling the truth, i appreciate that. They could just as easily open a fast food franchise if their only motivation is money.

But if you are worried about money influencing info, check into one of the Doctors featured in the film, Dr. Greger. He has no ads on his website and his youtube account is un-monitized.

Seriously?!? His entire website is an ode to selling everything that he has ever touched in his lifetime...

If it's anything like the other "health" related documentaries on Netflix, I'm sure it's garbage.

Nature documentaries, ftw. Especially if they are narrated by David Attenborough.

Have you seen the nature documentaries narrated by Snoop Dog? You should look it up. Hilarious!

He asks $15,000 minimum for speaking engagements. It goes to his foundation, but if you think there isn't serious money involved in what he does, you'd be wrong.

The problem with most documentaries is that they are biased and rarely offer to show the opposition equal time and research.

And his website is just as full of biased half-truths, junk science and hysterical vegan propaganda as What the Health is. Yet he passes it off under the bogus "call to authority" name of 'nutritionfacts'. I'd be surprised if there's one actual 'fact' on that entire website.
