I loved this documentary and thought about keeping it, but decided it was best to share it with everyone else. This is not an easy plan to follow if you are a social person, but I do believe in what it talks about.

After watching the movie, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead," and starting out "prediabetic," morbidly obese, and some ill health indicators from blood chemistries for future heart disease, I began at 205 lb last October drinking solely freshly juiced fruits and vegetables. After about a pound a day of weight loss into January, I started researching what I would do after the juicing and read the book, "The China Study," which led me to the book "The 80/10/10 Diet." I have found everything this film talks about to be "my" truth from experience. I have experimented a little and found that a meat meal causes me constipation and several days of mental and physical tiredness. I think I have finished testing the truth of this movie. I am continuing to lose weight and have gone from a BMI of morbid obesity to merely overweight! My goal is the BMI rating of normal! I have about 35 pounds to go to get there. My energy level, if I stay away from my past meals, is extremely high and I have a sense of well being. This is a wonderful film and one I hope someone will buy and post here so I can get it to watch to reinforce whenever I waver in my design to get past the age where my mother and sisters died, i.e., 70 of stroke. I am 67 and I want to reach the age of my great-grandmother, i.e., 96 (if not more)!

Oh, my arthritis pain disappears whenever I stay clear of overt fat and meat.

And, as to chicken, another film I watched, and I don't remember which one, tested modern-day chicken that is out of factory warehouses. This chicken is higher in fat ounce for ounce than pork or beef!

A very interesting and informative video, definitely worth a look.

Yes, there is a lot of stuff here leading towards a vegan lifestyle which the critics have enjoyed bashing. I interpret this documentary that maybe we should eat less meat, I do not plan to cut it out entirely.

I have seen the ideas presented here in other places So I believe there is truth to the information. It is not just fat people who have heart and health problems.

The government has been presenting food guidelines for as long as I can remember, no doubt influenced by the farm lobby. One of the more hilarious commercials I have seen was touting pork as "the other white meat", as if we would somehow equate it to chicken which is totally absurd. I love bacon and ham but pork is one of the nastiest, fatty meats available. Please do not try and make me think it's chicken.

Health care is a business and healthy people are not good business. Big pharmaceutical loves your dollars. The doctor can give you a pill for everything. I would personally rather give my money to the grocery store and produce sellers.
