Watched Hungry for Change today. It has changed my perspective alot! Some of the foods I thought were "healthy" turns out to be unhealthy and bad for your body. This documentary has definitely made me more aware of what I am putting in my body.

Has anyone watched "Fat, Sick, and nearly dead"? It's another documentary. I'm planning on watching it soon.

    There's way better stuff on Netflix. Like Dexter or just the home screen even.

    I absolutely loved this documentary. I found it to be 100% in line with how I do things and it's worked. 75 lbs down and still going. :)

    Why do you say that?

    Dexter is bad for your health.

    I suggest getting a puppy. Except the poop in the house. All those toxins are bad for you too.

    I have no real suggestion here.

    I like that docu. Alot of common sense. I really like the core message, which might be a little new age for some folks. The part that talks about how the earth wants to heal us and going back to a natural and seasonal diet to a certain extent. I'm a follower of an Earth based religion so the idea that the thing I hold sacred openly and passionately wants me to be healthy and happy and whole was really moving. But I've never denied that I am part hippy. :)

    Being fat is bad for your body. Not one single certain food. If you worry about toxins then you should avoid:

    Bug repellent
    Bug spray (raid)
    Hair spray
    Lotion
    Deodorant
    Lysol
    Bleach
    Air fresheners
    Scented candles
    Perfume/Cologne
    Cigar/cigarette smoke
    Walking outside in an industrial driven city
    Swimming in lakes/rivers/ponds

    After using/breathing/touching these things for 75 years, I might have a chance of cancer as well.

    I have watched Hungry for Change and Fat Sick and Nearly Dead several times each. Love them and find them very informative. I've also watch Food Matters and Forks over Knives. I don't buy into everything 110% but take the great information and have incorporated changes into my diet.

    Love Hungry For Change. Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead is also great. Then, like a few others have mentioned, there's Food Matters, Fork Over Knives, May I Be Frank, etc.

    I'm by no means perfect (I still have my Starbuck's a few times a week) but after watching these docs I seriously changed the way I lived - started juicing and blending fruits and vegetables, cut out candy bars, soda, most fried/processed foods - and I can honestly say I've noticed a HUGE difference in not only my weight, but my health. (I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago.) I've never felt so good. In fact, I feel ah-MAZING.

    Watched Hungry For Change yesterday but did not finish it. I've watches almost all the food docs on Netflix and I love them. I'm a bit obssed with documentaries.
    I believe in 95% of what most of the documentaries preach. However, I do eat meat. So the whole, 'plant based diet' is a little difficult for me to adhere too. BUT I do believe in eating, WHOLE foods, meaning how they were intended to be eaten!!! I know a lot of this food stuff is very controversial and society has really changed out outlook on many things. I believe in grass fed, organic, foods. I even buy raw milk in my area locally. Same as eggs. I learned this through an old friend of mine who ate everything whole, without it being taken from its initial state: i.e. free range, organic whole eggs, not egg whites, etc.

    More importantly, a lot of it is just plain common sense that unfortunately we've forgotten because of our busy hectic schedules and everyone needs to take what they can from it and implement it in their lives how they see fit.

    GOOD STUFF FOR SURE!!!!
