WHAT THE HEALTH was a very entertaining documentary specifically aimed at the meat eating crowd and making them realize that their on the road to hell if they keep their diets unaltered. Meat from cows, fish, poultry and dairy foods take the beat. The documentary features what you'd expect from a diehard vegan producer: government conspiracies, health agencies being sponsored by the companies responsible for the junk food you eat, the pharmaceutical industry's perennial blame that they want to keep people "sick" in order to sell their drugs, etc.
Most of the evidence is compelling, until the documentary turns into a vegan commercial with testimonies from people who changed their diets and experienced "miraculous" changes in their health. Funny thing is, WHAT THE HEALTH never talks about the veggies you eat, the pestecides they use in farming, the toxic waters used to feed these plants, etc. It's a very one sided view of things.
I rarely eat meat. I actually eat more vegetables than processed meats, but I just found this documentary very subjective. I'm sure eating more veggies and fruits will make for a more healthy diet, but if that's so, how did our ancestors survive for thousands of years by eating (at times) raw and uncooked meat?!?!?
That's something that's never addressed in this vegan documentary.
