Product Description

The film traces the origins of our beliefs about healthful and unhealthful food. Experts from all over the world talk about the problems as well as short and long term solutions. Among the many experts in the film are authors like Gary Taubes, Mark Sisson, and Melanie Warner. Medical doctors such as David Perlmutter M.D., David L. Katz, and Timothy Noakes share insights that are certain to challenge the status quo. Carb-Loaded: A Culture Dying to Eat is a chronicle of the things it's writer and director Lathe Poland learned after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. He sought to find out why he got sick, because he didn't fit the classic picture of an adult onset diabetes sufferer. He quickly learned that much of what he knew about healthy eating was based on myths or fifty year old science. In the film he searches out why Americas modern food culture is killing us. The upside? There is a lot that can be done!

Good for newbies to healthful eating

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2020

I am a certified nutrition educator and I feel this is a well done documentary for those that are new to healthy eating. Having been in the business for many many years I sometimes forget my beginnings. This video is a good reminder that everyone has the basic knowledge of nutrition and healthy eating.

Stuff We Should Already Know - Good For Kids

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is really pretty basic stuff and the way it is presented seems very basic as well. That being said, this would be a great film to watch in schools or to show your kids to teach them some of the basics for nutrition and what bad food choices can and do do to your body - it covers a lot of ground in a very simple way. The animation would probably make it more fun for kids too. This is not as scientific or thought-provoking as I like, but it's not a bad film.
That being said, the woman at the end RUINED the film for me. Anyone who says "butter from a pasture-raised cow" makes me want to throw something! Unless you're milking that cow, churning the butter, packing that butter, etc. etc., I would be willing to bet that butter comes from more than one cow. It just sounds so elitist and there are so many people (*cough cough Crossfitters*) who use this "phrase" lately ... just a BIG pet peeve of mine. It also further perpetuates the myth that our food - even organic and well sourced food - comes from a single source - which even in this case or in the case of even most small farms isn't even close to true. That's like saying "eggs from a grass-fed pastured chicken" ... like, good luck waiting for that one chicken to lay all of those eggs - my guess is several chickens produced the eggs as well.

One of the Best Movies on the Topic Around! Don't Miss It!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2018

Perfect!!! Well balanced...you have a mix of experts and pundits who provide some excellent ideas and options. Stop eating carbs? No. Go Atkins? No. Instead, the movie provides suggestions on what foods to eat, why, and, how the boxed carbs and fake fats destroy our health. The movie includes vegan MD David Katz, Paleo advocate Mark Sisson, etc., etc., so, clearly trying to provide balance on the information provided.

The movie never insults -- instead, it keeps you smiling most of the time -- but opens with an surprising revelation regarding one of the two stars of the movie having had diabetes-related health issues because of his high carb diet despite exercising and maintaining a low % of bodyfat. (NOTE: there are others such as Tim Noakes, TJ Murphy who followed the high carb approach and also ended up with insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, etc., despite hours of endurance training, etc.)

BTW, stay through the whole movie -- a couple of humorous outtakes at the end.

Pretty Good Balance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I found this documentary to be less about shaming, fear, and bias than most other similar food documentaries. While it is incredibly cheesey and cringey, it was still mostly fun to watch.

I was unimpressed with the emphasis on organic and grass fed as being the only "real food"....and on the lady who said that it's time to leave "fake fats" like soy, canola, etc and use only "real" fats like olive oil and coconut...lol, there is no difference. They are all grown and pressed from plants. So this video hit a little closer to the mark. If you want the actual science behind healthy eating, google and read about the Harvard Healthy Eating Pyramid.

Get off those extra carbs!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

We eat the Weston Price way (mostly), this documentary we really agreed with, but still we are of the mindset that we can enjoy sourdough and buttermilk and kefir breads (with LOTS of raw butter!). But the parts about what diabetes is costing the country and where we are headed really gave us an eye opener in thinking of what we are feeding our beautiful children. It made me cringe thinking of how sick this country will be when my husband and I are retiring and the younger generation that is supposed to be making the money for social security for us, will 1 in 3 be chronically sick with diabetes. What will this nations order look like when 1/3 of our workforce can't take care of themselves, their family, or their parents with a true full bill of health.

All Carbs Considered Bad?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

I thought that the movie was very well made, but the movie provides a very broad view of the food industry and issues its own slant on a Paleo-ish platform, which as a Vegan, I feel, leaves me feeling left out and begging for more of a plant-based emphasis. While there IS mention of a difference between good carbs and bad carbs per say, I'm still left wanting for more detailed evidence for a healthy carb alternative to our SAD overly the cruelty that is promulgated and perpetuated by animal farming in this country. Can ground beef with its high bacteria count be considered "healthy?" Can improperly handled chicken with its known prevalence for high bacteria counts also be considered "health?" What of today's fish supply riddled with pcbs, bacteria and what of farmed fish swimming in its own urine. "Real food" for people to eat? I'm not convinced. But I thought that the way the documentary is presented and done, in and of itself was well directed and put together.

Need to watch

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2016

Because I have type 2 diabetes, I was interested in the research this documentary had given to this rampant disease. I have been successfully caring for myself for over a year and a half using information from my doctor. In fact I found out about this documentary while reading a magazine at my doctors. I admit that I was not taking care of my body, I would overeat and loved carb rich foods. The trend appears to be common in America today. This video brings an awareness to those who don't realize the seriousness of what food choices we have as Americans. I hope more people will see this video and take better care of their own and their children's health.
