Eating You Alive

This movie advocates a whole foods plant-based diet, somewhat low in fat - not too many nuts and seeds.

This is certainly healthy, as long as you are careful to get enough of the nutrients that may be missing in a plant-based diet, such as B12, calcium, iodine ... It helps prevent and reverse the metabolic-syndrome type problems that end up killing so many people: obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis. So many people who are fat and sick, in the USA and around the world. It is such a huge tragedy, and it is SO unnecessary.

BUT, this movie tries to sell this diet as a cure for things for which it is not a cure. My autoimmune problems and severe allergies didn't get better after I started eating this way, in 2005 or so. So there's an anti-testimonial, if you like.

There's a very good case to be made for eating this way. For one's health; for the environment; and to prevent animal suffering. Those reasons SEEM like they should be good enough, without making exaggerated claims.

This documentary tells the lay person what they need to know about how what you eat is causing the majority of chronic diseases in America. Pharmaceutical companies are treating the symptoms not curing these chronic illnesses. No one gets healed of their chronic diseases from taking pills. This movie lays convincing evidence that if you are looking for better health it is only a fork away. The leading experts in plant based nutrition are all here. This is the best movie on the power of plant-based nutrition since Forks Over Knives. Once you hear the information and do the research yourself, the evidence is irrefutable.

This is the best documentary iv seen in a long time. All you people who think this is over the top.. it's not! Iv done so much research on this after finding out I have MS. Since then i make myself a quick smoothie every day of cruciferous veg and a raw veg diet my symptoms have gone. People have reversed from stage 4 cancers and many other diseases. WAKE UP PEOPLE your body has the capacity to heal itself. DR Brooke you gave me the best advise! People check her out on YouTube! Food is medicine. Processed food is an addiction. Although it's going against what you fundamentally believe, it's the truth.

Highly informative and well paced. A great introduction to plant based living and the benefits of this type of dietary lifestyle. Recommended!

I think a good portion of the western world need to see this film. We need to change the ways we eat for the world, our health, our futures and the animals! As a health professional myself, I strongly agree with the content of this film
