“Eat food. Not too much.
Mostly plants.”
'I would like to add that this is not an "all or nothing" recommendation. I must, however, teach you the best I know, and then you will do the best you can. Results are usually proportional to the changes you make, but some conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis, require strict adherence to the program.' Dr John McDougall, The Healthiest Diet on the Planet, 2016, p.28.

ocean, but instead found himself examining the harm that humans inflict
upon the vulnerable seas. From plastics and fishing gear polluting the
waters, to the irreparable damage of bottom trawling and by-catch, to
illegal fishing and devastating hunting practices, humanity is wreaking

ultimately uncovered not only challenges notions of sustainable fishing
but will shock anyone who cares about the wonders of ocean life, as well
as the future of the planet and our place on it. From the

Plant Pure Nation PlantPure Nation tells the story of three people on a quest to spread the message of one of the most important health breakthroughs of all time. After nutritional scientist and author Dr. T. Colin Campbell speaks to the Kentucky legislature, his oldest son Nelson works with Kentucky State Representative Tom Riner to propose a pilot program documenting the health benefits of a plant-based diet. Through this well intentioned effort, they inadvertently set in motion a series of events that expose powerful forces opposed to the diet. After industry lobbyists kill the pilot program, Nelson decides to try his own grassroots approach in his hometown of Mebane, North Carolina, before circling back to Kentucky for a dramatic ending. A growing number of celebrities, athletes, TV hosts, and nutrition experts have promoted the plant-based diet in the past few years, and tens of thousands of people have documented their personal success stories. But as more doctors and public officials become aware of the healing power of plant-based nutrition the question arises: Why don’t they share the information with the public? Tragically, there have been few official medical or state-sponsored efforts in the nation to support the life sustaining benefits of a whole foods plant-based diet.PlantPure Nation was filmed across the USA and includes world-renowned experts, doctors and authors. The Production team includes Director Nelson Campbell, and Producer John Corry & Writer Lee Fulkerson from the acclaimed documentary film Forks Over Knives.

About half of us are taking at least one prescription drug and major medical operations have become routine. Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country's three leading causes of death, even though billions are spent each year to 'battle' these very conditions. Millions suffer from a host of other degenerative diseases. Could it be there's a single solution to all of these problems?

affects not only our personal health, but that of the entire planet.
Filmmaker Michal Siewierski takes an in-depth look at how the
consumption of animal products has a long-lasting, negative effect on
the earth’s biosphere. Not only does he report on facts relating to the
unethical treatment of animals raised for human consumption, but he also
addresses the addition of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and
antibiotics to animal feed. This trickle-down effect results in the
poisoning of both our bodies and the planet.

experts to provide factual data to support Siewierski’s stand that the
wrong foods can cause more harm than good. This eye-opening documentary

supplies not polluted with additives and chemicals.

In this country, most of us are blessed with an abundance of food and food choices. So taking into account our health, the environment and ethical concerns, which diet is best?
