Subverted my view of food

I met Dr Lee during the annual health check. When I asked him if I needed some vitamins, he recommended this movie to me. I just threw the thawed sausages into the trash after watching this movie, and regretted that I didn't pay attention to his suggestions earlier.

1. The side effects of
science The progress of science and technology far exceeds the change of human genes. People like to eat high-energy sugar, people like to eat when they are full, and these are for better survival in the era of food shortages. However, advances in science and technology have fooled the senses that people have been able to survive for tens of thousands of years. A large number of cheap, processed and high-calorie foods have been produced. These are not only not beneficial to humans, but also pose a huge threat to human health. These foods were pointed out by a doctor that, like drugs, they stimulate the nerves that produce happiness at the cost of health. Obesity patients are very common in the United States. The secret of my company is that I secretly speculated that she would have to buy 3 plane tickets. It is worth mentioning that while many people in the United States have become slaves to appetite, there are also some who bravely defeated their desire to become vegetarians. These people eat healthier than traditional Chinese.

2. Misleading
milk, fast food, sweets, etc. from businesses and governments is already a huge industry, involving the interests of countless businesses. In the United States, merchants have paid to sponsor the Bureau of Agriculture, and some of the board of directors of the Bureau of Agriculture are also held by business representatives, thus losing third-party independence. The Bureau of Agriculture will also influence the government's recommendations on dietary standards, so that the health of the people gives way to maximizing the interests of businesses. Milk, a calcium supplement that I was educated since I was a child, has been pointed out that it is actually one of the culprits of bone fragility. What really shocked me was that Fat-free fresh milk has a higher protein content than ordinary fresh milk, and it is more harmful to the human body. Why does this make China's situation where normal temperature milk occupies the main market so embarrassing?

3. The answer is vegetarian
The impact of a vegetarian diet on health is shocking. It can not only effectively prevent high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and other diseases, but also effectively cure these diseases. Although my health is not affected by the above-mentioned diseases, sticking to a vegetarian diet seems to be a low-cost, high-return long-term investment. At present, the biggest challenge should be the worry that the taste will be greatly reduced, but the pursuit of health while ensuring deliciousness should be an achievable goal. At the same time, part of the pressure will also come from the traditional culture of drinking and drinking with friends and family.
I plan to learn more about Dr. Esselytyn, Dr. Campbell and Matt Lederman's research, and then slowly switch to a vegetarian diet. However, whether vegetarian food is really as good as the movie advertises remains to be seen by myself. Try it for 3 weeks before watching.

In short, this is a documentary that may make your life different from now on.

    The Food Regulatory Authority and the food consortium are "united". Who is it that guides whom?

    I heard about it two years ago but only recently watched it. I think it is persuasive. The current mainstream medical advice is still the combination of meat and vegetables. However, I personally tend to agree more with the view in the film, which is that a plant-based diet can improve people's health and even reverse disease. The degree of belief is about six to four. I've always wanted to try it, but a healthy vegetarian diet is not just about being a vegetarian. There are also many dietary rules to follow, which involve production conditions, cost, and trouble in taste, making it inconvenient to practice. So I didn't force it, there was a kind of "panic and indifferent" mentality. I used to have a very naive idea. I wanted to see a TV show similar to "Spear and Shield", PK on different issues, and people with different views debated, let's see what the truth is. In fact, it's completely bizarre. A vegetarian question that seems innocuous. However, the adjustment of dietary recommendations will directly affect the country's industrial structure and is far from an issue that can be easily discussed. If animal-based diets really hurt people's health, aren't we already experiencing a "plague"?

Forks Over Knives quotes

  • Terry Mason: If it walked, hopped, swam, crawled, slithered, had eyes, a mama and a dad - don't eat it.

  • Narrator: Despite the apparent success of the dietary approach, some critics say eating this way is extreme.

    Caldwell Esselstyn Jr.: Now, with the western diet, this guarantees there's going to be what, a half a million people in this country this year who will have to have the front half of their body divided, their heart exposed, then veins will be taken from their leg and sewn on their heart. Some people would call that extreme.
