5.0 out of 5 stars Very well organized and fact supported movie.
This should be vital material to watch if you're in the medical or nutrition/physical fitness world and have an impact on teaching others about how to take care of and heal themselves.

This is what the mainstream schools miss and don't teach, even though after the movie you'll feel like you've just seen something that makes such plain sense, but is not widely...

2.0 out of 5 stars I'm a believer in nutrition for healing - and this film pissed me off...
I'm all about food as medicine - I go to an naturopathic doctor, my husband is a physician, my career is devoted to getting solid nutrition in the mouths of children and youth, I pick up most of my food from farms or farmer's markets - I soak my grains, I make food from scratch, etc...okay, having said this - I hated this film.

This should be vital material to watch if you're in the medical or nutrition/physical fitness world and have an impact on teaching others about how to take care of and heal themselves.

This is what the mainstream schools miss and don't teach, even though after the movie you'll feel like you've just seen something that makes such plain sense, but is not widely held as truth.

I encourage for people to have viewing parties with this and spread the message. Why else is cancer affecting 1 in every 2 people, neurological diseases going through the roof and diabetes out of control for our children and adults.

Encouraging you to quit reading this review and grab the movie (I think it's on netflix as well or you can download it from their website). I am a PT and this was information that I can easily use to pass onto my patients. It's good common sense information that can make you stop and realize that what you eat is much more important vs. how much you eat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everybody should watch this movie, January 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
This is a great movie that everybody in the industrialized world should watch, especially America. It's probably not going to keep you hanging on the edge of your seat since it's mostly interviews with various people. However, the information contained within is priceless. If you read lots of health books it'll probably help reinforce what you already know and if you don't it will probably inspire you to start. If you're new to the kind of info presented in this documentary you might want to check out these books:

1. Ultraprevention by Mark Hyman and Mark Liponis
2. Empty Harvest by Bernard Jensen and Mark Anderson
3. 50 Secrets of the World's Longest Living People by Sally Beare

There are countless other great books but this is a start. I hope this movie and others like it inspire more people to start taking responsibility for their health.

5.0 out of 5 stars You ARE What You Eat!, May 1, 2009
This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
This was one of the MOST informative documentaries that I have ever watched. Everything I saw shocked me in a good way and sparked a change in my lifestyle. Everyone who has health issues should watch this, and get educated about nutrition. It makes a BIG difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars This movie changed my life, March 3, 2010
This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
I bought this movie because I was interested in getting some information about the food we are eating. I used the reviews to make my decision and I wasn't disappointed. This movie seriously changed my life. I recently lost a loved one to Cancer. It just doesn't make sense and maybe this movie has a point that more people should be listening to. The statistic that less than 5% of doctors are taught about nutrition tells me that doctors are paid based on people getting sick and not people getting well. It would be interesting to see if the government stopped subsidizing corn and instead subsidized organic meats, fruits and veggies how many health issues would be eliminated. How about that for a healthcare plan! To yourself a favor and buy this movie. I have already bought another copy and sent it to a friend as a gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must See Film!!, November 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
I saw this with a friend and had to buy my own copy (which I now share with friends). This dvd is filled with essential nutritional and medical information that will change your health. It is easy to understand, pertinent, and has revealing facts about some of the most common chronic disease people deal with today and how to reverse and/or cure them. This information has caused my husband and I to change our perspective and our eating habits. If you are looking for some answers about improving your health naturally this dvd will help you.

5.0 out of 5 stars great movie to watch, November 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
This movie was very eye opening and had a lot of information in it. It really makes you think twice about the diet that you grew up on and what it is doing to your health. I would suggest this movie to anyone that is interested in learning about making a change in their life. There are a lot of interesting stories about what people have been able to accomplish and even defeat by just changing their diet. It is definitely a must see

5.0 out of 5 stars A big eye opener & Lifestyle changer!, March 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
I first saw The Future of Food which got me started on a personal quest to see how much healthier I can be and how much more aware I can be of what I'm eating.
This movie really helped reinforce that desire! There were facts stated that I vaguely remember my Mother & Father & others making random statements on when I was little. This showed me that they weren't the only ones stating the facts. Now, I scrutinize almost everything before I buy it & have altered my diet to dramatically include much more raw fruits & vegetables. The cacao beans are a bit tough for starters but they slowly grow on you. Lol.
This movie really opened me up to a whole new & better world as I hope it does for countless others too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-opening documentary that will change your life., December 1, 2009
This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
"Foodmatters" is one of those movies that makes you rethink the way that you live and the choices that you make.

I have always been interested in eating organic, raw, and just overall healthier foods, and this film makes it evident that there are certain foods that can leader to a longer and healthier life. By eating the right foods, we can skip out on medications and prescriptions, and can overcome out illnesses naturally and more effectively.

If living a long and healthy life is something that is important to you, then you definitely want to see "Foodmatters"!

This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
This is a great DVD to introduce people to better eating habits. I do believe that we are what we eat. I'm over 50 now, and do feel the difference when I eat a healthy diet. It was the motivation I needed to make the changes in my diet that I already new I should be doing. I alo bought David Wolfe's book Superfoods, and am enjoying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent & eye-opening documentary, January 1, 2011
This review is from: Foodmatters (DVD)
I love documentaries, but I don't feel like many are as well-done as this one. "Foodmatters" drew me in immediately, was well-organized, informative, and kept my attention the whole way through... The facts presented seemed to be well researched and really further educated me on things about food and nutrition that I was already learning about from books and other documentaries. So much of what they talk about is really common sense, and yet are so surrounded by our overly-processed foods (and the industry that relies on the sale of them) that we don't even realize the impact that what we choose to put in our mouth can have on our overall health and well-being. If we did understand the power of our food and started shifting our focus towards providing our bodies with what they truly need, we could see a shift in our culture as a whole.

I've now watched it several times and think it will become a staple of mine going forward since whenever it's over, I always feel motivated to make better choices.
