Fat Fiction

I have been a cook for 18 years. I was taught that the Food Pyramid is our guide for cooking healthy cooking. We have turned people into junkies, craving sugar and Carbohydrates. Thank you for making this documentary.

Documentaries are the real media. Doc filmmakers have time and time again become whistle-blowers on big money control over the general public. Jennifer highlights in this doc some compelling facts and insights about what we've been told about "low-fat" and "healthy" diets. An educational watch to enlighten us about obesity, and diets, who's and what big money is behind this huge industry. Everyone should watch this film.

I was familiar already with the topic at hand and the research behind it is as sound as nutritional studies can get(which is not a lot). The real issue is how the documentary was presented, it was like it spent too much time beating around the bush, going in circles and repeating points. It also did not help that at times it went for smug analogies to sway opinions( how many times you had orange juice in the last year?... and so on). I dont know what was the intention of the documentary but what i know is that you either try to be accessible and resonate with the masses or you are diligent and accurate. In the end it feels like this one kind of failed at both. Not really recommended, there are 10 minutes videos on youtube who convey the same amount of information

... olive oil, avocado and walnut smoothies to start; pork crackling, lardons and black pudding for main; followed by sugar free dripping ice cream - washed down with a bottle of Thunderbird Red, or Blue if it's the weekend.

Fat does not make you fat, this has been acknowledged for some time now, as has the the role of the corrupt sugar mafia - no harm in re-amplifying that, and it's welcome. The fact is that when you shuffle, the world will still be no wiser to what's good for you than the hunter-gatherer that set the standard some time ago.

In 50 years, this documentary will be considered the gold standard in how to reverse diabetes and ensure good health. I have tried it myself and have lost weight and it has helped my daily headaches tremendously. I am not ravenously hungry anymore and quit snacking almost entirely due to eating more fat. An easy way to incorporate fat is eating avocados, eggs & coconut chips for a snack. Look, go moderate carb and SEE HOW YOU FEEL. Than, start going low carb if you feel better. Only thing missing from this documentary is mentioning reducing gluten & dairy intake which contribute to headaches and other digestive issues. Also, ditch the sugar - it does nothing for you and fuels chronic conditions. I wish you all the best of luck.
