Food Inc. http://www.foodincmovie.com/ , was first on my list, I have been putting off seeing this film for a while now mostly because 6 years ago I watched that Documentary Earthlings which warped my fragile little mind and changed my life forever. I just couldn't look at food, animals or meat products the same again...it really fucked with my senses, so I have been hesitant to watch another movie similar to it.
I still feel that Earthlings was a far superior documentary and packs more of a punch. It scares you into action whereas Food Inc gently takes your hand, pats you on your head and thinks you into action. If you haven't watched Earthlings please do; most people I know can't get through half of it. Best to watch this one on an empty stomach.!
Food Matters was another Documentary I watched about how we can use whole plant foods to reset our bodies to be able to heal again. I loved this flick! It truly inspired me to want to continue to do what I am already doing. I felt it gave some good information and I didn't feel like the whole world was against me when I watched it. It was a gentle documentary that lubed me up before they shoved their view points up my ass and I would totally recommend Food Matters as it is a nice companion to help you on your jucing journey.
Forks Over Knives; was a boring version of Food Matters. Maybe it's just me though, watching 3 documentaries in a row about food can kind of take the wind out of your sails. Is it possible to overdose on Documentary Films? Probably! I am already getting the shakes while I write this. Everyone else says it is a great complimentary film to Food Inc, but to me, it fell flat. There were a few new tidbits in that movie that made me go 'hmmm' but nothing that hadn't already been covered in the first two I had watched.
The one that everyone is buzzing about is Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead . I watched this one last week and I must say, it helped inspire me to actually go through with this juice fast. I have been on the fence about doing it for almost 2 months now, but this movie pushed me over the edge and made me want to take control of my weight situation before it got to the point of the two main guys in that movie. Overall, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead was Ok. I would recommend this movie to someone who doesn't know much about nutrition or healthy living or just needs a motivational tool to get the ball rolling.
