Agree w @Trinity11 & @ChillyTulip.

Sadly this is a film based on cherry picked info & partial truths.

Imho people promoting it haven't followed up to see if what's presented is factual. ITA if people want to promote healthy eating they should do it with sound factual info instead of junky sensationalistic films like this one. There's good info on plant based eating but this flick isn't one of them.

Obviously, there wasn’t sufficient research to make your statement.

There are mountains of research backing up this film.

If this film doesn’t fit your vision, then choose “Forks Over Knives”,

the Gold Standard of Plant Based documentaries. 

I’m so happy the truth is finally being told...and changes are slowly

being made to get our society back on the right track of good health.

Maybe not our generation, but I have hope for the next generation

and beyond.  

People are talking;

People are listening;

Changes are being made.

If you seek actual knowledge please read the criticisms of this film.

Appears to be a sketchy so called "documentary" with cherry picked "data".

Truth comes from investigating and hearing all sides of issues before making decisions.

Most people have investigated & research both sides before promoting 

'What the Health'...that is what makes it so powerful & eye-opening.  

It's not a big surprise our food & medical system is being governed 

by big money...BIG money.  It's no secret...this film just reminds us

that WE have the power to be healthy & not succumb to the effects

of Modern Day Illnesses like heart disease, T2 diabetes, obesity, etc. 

All that can change with the power of Food!  So simple.

"...find actual scholarly resources to support plant based diets."

Yes, there numerous, thousands-hundreds of thousands, of studies which backs the PB benefit....but we don't need that.   We have multi-generational cultures throughout the World who have eaten primarily plant-based diets.

Just look to each of our ancestors.  Don't need a 'study' for that.

I've read the criticisms of the film.  I'm certainly not "afraid" of them.   That's just insulting.  

I've yet to read any that actually show that the film is bunk  .
