DVD Reviews of Eating - 3rd EditionDVD Review: Great if you're into that kind of thing Summary: 5 StarsI've been a vegetarian for 4 years now and I am 100% against the brainwashing by the FDA's food pyramid and the Standard American Diet (SAD). So if you're already interested in health and eating natural foods, I think you'd get a lot of information and entertainment from this DVD. I can't imagine the type of people who actually need to hear this gospel would have the interest to. My father suffers from high cholesterol and because the doctor says eat less meat, as opposed to stop eating meat, he wouldn't sit through it. Yes, it's preachy and people don't want to hear that they have to really change their entire lives in order to have a life worth living.
Some of the testimonials were over the top and I agree with some other posters here, it felt like an infomercial at times, but it made me feel inspired to continue eating a plant based diet. It really is about having a different relationship with food and stepping outside of the ease of the SAD diet, rather than "dieting". So if you like books like Mad Cowboy, Fastfood Nation, and are into health then this will just add more to your knowledge base.
DVD Review: comments on my recent purcchase Summary: 1 StarsI purchased the book quite some time ago, and still have not received it. I wont have time to read it for my book club meeting next Tuesday.
DVD Review: This should be on your "must see" list. Summary: 5 StarsI watched this doc on free speech tv last Sunday and was blown away by it. I new some of the things in it as far as why meat isn't good for you but the way the health ramifications, as well as environmental impact, for eating it made me totally reconcider the way I eat. I've avoided eating meat most of this week by about 95 percent. I just cannot get the facts in this video out of my head. I really get the feeling that eventually I will be done with meat all together some day, wonder what it will be like to one day walk past the meat section at the grocery store without a thought of it, but for now baby steps. I want to seriously give this new way of eating a try.
DVD Review: Could have been... Summary: 2 StarsThis is an interesting concept, but... I have a few issues with the movie:
1. Too often it sounds like an infomercial, almost irritating. Perhaps, this was unintentional and plain clumsy, but it's there and hard to ignore.
2. Bundling a potentially revolutionary concept with a dubious one called "global warming" (even flashing pics of Al Gore and stills from his movie). I don't want to get into the whole global warming politics here, but the bottom line is - the two should have never been mixed together.
3. Plenty of catchy quotes throughout the movie, but very few meaningful scientific references. To fully benefit from the info presented, you need to go to the website (url in the movie) which provides tons of references. It would take months if not years to read all of them trying to verify all or most of the claims in the movie.
4. Spectacular claims, such as substantial reductions in blood cholesterol levels over amazingly short periods of time, just by switching to non-animal diet. Similar claims regarding spontaneous remissions of advanced cancers etc. Again, no solid, unbiased data from clinical research to support these, no imaging or laboratory evidence from the patients who allegedly recovered or substantially improved.
5. There are constant undertones of conspiracy by big pharma, big food industry, lobbies etc. No matter how real these are, their role seems to be overstated.
6. Towards the end of the movie, there is a short segment that is a fairly typical PETA propaganda. Just like with misplaced global warming, why inject something like this into the movie that is supposed to explain the health benefits of a certain diet? It would have been better to simply state a point in question, as clearly as possible, and document it with some compelling scientific data, instead of spicing it up with junk science and junk politics.
Even with all the described flaws, for some this may be a worthwhile info. Kinda elementary school or junior high level. If, however, in this day and age you still need someone to tell you that diets heavily based on animal products are not healthy, you probably don't need a movie like this one to begin with. Food can be a dangerous addiction, a lot more complex than just a simple matter of choices. It is a reflection of many layers of a society and should be addressed accordingly. This movie takes an important step in scratching the surface of the problem, but does it in a very awkward and at times misguided way.
DVD Review: This film has transformed so many friends! Summary: 5 StarsAs a long time vegan who feels marvelous, I have found this film to be more eloquent than I am in transforming friends. I show it for everyone who visits, with excellent results.
My favorite was a 19-year old who lives in a rooming house in Brooklyn with several moms of small children. She insisted I sell her my copy so she wouldn't have to wait for it! And then she held a seminar in the house to teach the mothers how to feed their children well!
It deserves more than 5 stars because it is a real public service. And unlike others who've made good films on the health benefits of the vegan diet, Mike Anderson charges a very reasonable price.
Being raw vegan, I'd suggest that makes the vegan diet even better. I've been doing this for 35 years and feel great. And perhaps the biggest plus is that your mind shifts into a peaceful place.

What you will get is a virtual one-on-one consultation with some of the world's leading authorities on heart disease reversal. You will also hear from Dr. Heidrich who treated her breast cancer by simply changing her diet. The DVD also covers a wide-range of other health problems, including the reversal of adult-onset diabetes with diet. It also covers the impact of typical Western diets on the environment. The Eating DVD is used in hospitals and wellness clinics throughout the world to motivate people to change their diets and restore their health.
