Chow Down

The main expert of the documentary is an MD that did a 20 year long study on the effects of diet on heart conditions. They also mention Lipitor being the top drug sold (at the time the doc was made). It is #2 now.
The main focus was on heart disease and heart attacks. Cholesterol and saturated fats add to the risks of these, and fruits and vegetables have NONE naturally (except avocado having some sat. fats), what more evidence do you need.

I'm a vegan and am not too thin in fact I am an athlete. Please check out for starters http://www.veganbodybuilding.com.

Having had a stroke myself, most of everything said here about food consumption confirms what my doctors have told me. What would be interesting is to find out whether carnivorous animals such as lions have heart disease also....

yep, eat like an american, die like a pig.

Its important to understand the sinister nature of big pharmaceuticals/medical and the meat industry. The one couple who complained about the expense of healthy eating probably eat too much and shop in the wrong places. She didn't seem like a good homemaker. Soy "milk" never costs me that much. I bought some on sale the other day for $2.50 a half gallon. I've been vegetarian for years, and spend about $2,500 yearly on food. I never eat in restaurants unless I'm along for the ride and someone else pays.

I don't remember anything regarding a low fat diet. Plants have plenty of healthy fats, and the human body wasn't designed to eat meat or break down animal fats very well. What part of that didn't you understand?

Thank you - lots of unsupported allegations. I have an "open mind" but it has to be changed with verifiable evidence or source material. (they don't refer to any proof for their "meat conspiracy")

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
