Watch What the Health For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Fresh and Exciting

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

First of all you can not prove something with a single study. There needs to be alot more studies that show the exact same results before anyone in the health care can even begin to recommend a diet like that. Second how would the reaserch organisations go forward whitout their sponsors? More people would die from the different diseases than they do by not recommend the health changes that this "documentary" recommends. The facts are in many cases straight up wrong and presented in a way that makes the documentary look better. I can definently agree about some of the problems that they are presenting, like antibiotics, but they tanke away their trustworthiness when they only present their one beliefs and not the whole truth. It is straight up dangerous to recommend people dying from diseases to not take medication and only change their diet. No one with real cancer tumours have been cured from eating vegetables. But their beliefs in the ability to be cured is still a positive thing that should be cherished along with a proper medication. This is a horrificly one sided documentary and you need a high level of patience to finish it.

The really confusing part of this movie is that half of it's arguments are based on scientific facts.Since I've watched cowspiracy years ago, I have guessed how the movie would go after some 20 minutes.Normal people see cows generate green house gases, they think "hmm could I use those gases for energy?", cowspiracy guys see the greenhouse gases, they think "hmm how could I use this fact to make a documentary to intimidate people into veganism?".It seems veganism is the silver bullet of saving the planet, and saving your health! wow! Good luck with that.

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.

What starts of as documentary about an intriguing and interesting matter quickly becomes very one sided. Although many benefits are outlaid by nutritionists and doctors about a non meat and dairy diet the comparisons used are usually in a form of scare tactics suggesting meat, fish and dairy are as bad cigarettes and even heroin.The point that is maintained throughout the documentary is once you turn vegan everything becomes better. No data, facts or opinions are implied from people who sustain a healthy diet who aren't vegan. The film ends with examples of what a vegan diet can do for you including: 1, A man benching over 400kg because he's vegan?? 2, A woman being able to walk again freely after becoming vegan for 2 weeks?? The examples are portrayed in a way that all you have to do is become vegan and hard work and medical assistance had no factor.Although What the Health covers an important topic as the film progresses it feels more and more like vegan propaganda.
