I dont disagree with how important veggies are, but you have to remember that our ancestors also ate meat long before disease and obesity came into play. The fact that they also were 10x more active that people today. Non- processed meat is the key and everything in moderation6

I just tubed it up and can’t wait to watch it. First scene is nothing but elite athletes and the US Marines.How can it be bad? Will report back.1

I am addicted to anything fitness related so I watched it. It dealt with elite athletes, Arnold made a few appearances, and was produced by Jackie Chan so it had that going for it. It is a documentary so they almost always have an agenda of some sort. I can't imagine ever giving up meat completely but it is hard to argue that there are some compelling reasons to consider cutting back.2

Game Changer is very interesting and I feel like I would like to try it but I also feel like things are going well with my current diet. I eat and or drink animal products at just about every meal and it would be laborious to find food/ beverages that are in compliance.0

You should not radically change something that is working for you unless there is an immediate medical need. I also do not like the idea of cutting any one thing out of a menu completely. However, if you wanted to include more plant based food into your diet you could start with really small manageable changes. An example may be an additional side dish for your meals that is a plant based protein and cut out a couple of ounces of meat. I am not interested in giving up meat altogether so that is what I do to offset some of it.9 -
I watched it and thought it was well done. Being a vegan athlete myself I can certainly attest to the claims of pretty much all of my athletic abilites increasing 10-fold once eliminating animal products entirely. Also my sleep got way better as did my skin, hair, nails. Pretty much everything got better, including my mental focus.
I was vegetarian for a long time and it all came down to fish and eggs. I only "thought" I felt good but there was always some underlying thing going on. I finally gave up the fish and eggs and within a day or two I literally felt like I was born again.
Anyways, again, I thought it was a good docu. and it gets the point across. I'd recommend it for anyone who is interested in a plant based diet for health and weight loss - not necessarily for ethical reasons.13 -

Did you actually watch it tho?5 -
I’m looking forward to watching this. Can I ask though, does it include any scenes from the meat industry? I’d like to watch it with my bloke who has been veggie for 30 years and I know he will stop watching if it shows this stuff0

No there is no focus on animal welfare at all. There is a warning at the beginning about “bloody scenes” and I was dreading some awful slaughter house clips (I’m already vegan, I don’t need any more convincing of how bad it is), but it was actually clips of an MMA fight!
I really enjoyed the film, so did my husband who wasn’t vegan when he watched it, but is experimenting with veganism now.7 -
To be honest all it said to me was that i need to increase my plant based foods not necessarily cut out meat.6

Argh!!
You can't tell whether it's meant seriously or intended to make you laugh? A mockumentary isn't a documentary with a spin, slant, or callous disregard of the truth trying to convince you to adopt some particular opinion. It's a movie made in the style of a documentary about some fictitious person, event, scenario, etc. It's a comedy. There wasn't really a band called Spinal Tap. Amy Poehler didn't really work for a Parks Department.
Now I have to go chase some children off of my lawn.6 -
I don't believe in any documentaries that talks about Health and Diet. usually there is a one sided biased argument. They will usually cherry pick their data in order to push their agenda. A little bit like that other documentary on Netflix that compared eggs to smoking cigarettes. I have survived 36 years of life with Calories in and Calories out by eating food that I enjoy, that's enough for me. I have one life to live, I don't need to worry about every single food I eat by asking myself all the time "Will this be the food that ends up killing me?". At the end of the day, as long as my overall balance diet is good, I eat enough fibers, vitamins, proteins and I am losing (if I am on a cut) or gaining weight (bulking) the way I should, I know I will be fine. The rest is just noise. Unfortunately, in the health and diet industry, there is money to be made, so the more original you make it sound, the more you can profit from it.6

Also, this is just like any other pro something documentary. It's promoting vegetarian and vegan diets. Obviously it is going to be one sided.
Like I stated.... two hours of plants good... meat bad....2 -
I question that if such a simple change could generate such significant athletic improvements, wouldn’t all the dieticians working with our pro teams already have this in place for their athletes?16

Exactly! Replace this with any current fad (diet and gear) and ask "If x is so great why aren't the elites doing it?"4
