Just like Forks Over Knives, this film revolves around Dr. Esselstyn's research and promotes a plant-based diet. The focus here is on heart disease prevention and reversal, but it is even inferred that ALL major western diseases are likely to just be various symptoms of the health problem created by the US diet.
Besides Dr. Esselstyn's studies, we are treated to many other health professionals' opinions and they all agree: western medicine treats symptoms and offers only short-term fixes, but our health is ultimately in our hands. And on top of various statistics supporting this, officials from government agencies point to the pressure they are under from the agro-industrial lobbies to deny the ill-effects of the food we are encouraged to eat.
I find all this very compelling and it matches my personal experience and observations with respect to food and the medical profession. But if you think that this is just another propaganda documentary funded by misguided vegans, you won't find any trace of counter-arguments for balance. And the somewhat annoying presentation (cartoons?!) may distract you from the message. I think it would be too bad. Regardless of tactic or agenda, I don't believe it's even in question that we are facing a health crisis, and that our diet is likely the biggest culprit. So more films like this one should be made to cut through the fog of lies and misinformation.
