I had heard about this documentary for years and recently decided to give it a look after hearing it mentioned again on a sports talk show. I know that veganism is a growing trend in pro sports because of the performance boost that the athletes get and I had been considering moving to that kind of diet myself.

I think the best part of the documentary is that it isn't preachy and it doesn't come at you from a moral standpoint. At its core are two elements: statistics and the science behind the statistics. Once you see this documentary you can't un-see the damage that we are doing to ourselves. An no, it isn't an opinion piece - scientists have a hundred years of data to back them up. I had already made the decision to go plant-based and about fifteen minutes in to the documentary my wife decided to join me. It's been amazing and I can't imagine going back. The difference in how I feel and how I look (my stomach disappeared!) is incredible.

The movie is free on Netflix and on Youtube. If you want a deeper personal dive into someone in poor health going on the plant-based diet I recommend Unsupersize Me.
