5/10
It could be better, but some of the information was correct.

My review of the Documentary Food Matters, that overall it was an interesting documentary with content that many people would not know about. The documentary uses many nutritionist and people with PhDs talk about the medical professions and how they do not know about nutrition. In the documentary, they did not organize the content very well and switched topics very quickly to where they missed some of the things they wanted to say and had to come back to it. Some of the people who were interviewed, only saw things the way they wanted to see it. Some of them took a one sided argument and did not care to see doctor's point of view when it comes to medicine. On top of this, some of the interviewees made some claims that were very hard to believe to be true. In one instance of this, the guy states "by cleansing your body and drinking lots of water, I know a guy that lost 15 pounds in one day." Anyone with common sense would know that this is nearly impossible and if it is possible, then it very unhealthy and no one, especially someone with PhD, should not be promoting someone to lose weight that quickly. There were also other claims that were made in this documentary that I find very hard to be true and it does not seem that they are able to prove a lot of their "facts".On the other end of the spectrum, much of the content was very good information that more people need to know about. I believe that it is important that more people care about their health and that they change what they put into their bodies to help themselves. American people also need to realize how some drug can have many negative effects on them, if not kill them and if there is another way to go about fixing the issue that is healthier and more natural than people should try to use the healthier way.
