The most important video is here first:
Cowspiracy-video (English)
COWSPIRACY: The Sustainability Secret (http://cowspiracy.com) is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following an intrepid filmmaker as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today, and investigates why the world's leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it.
The Huffington Post about this documentary:
"What if environmentalists are ignoring the largest contributing factor to global climate change? It's a provocative question sure to offend the sensibilities of those who view themselves as staunch defenders of the planet. But Kip Andersen's Cowspiracy asks it plainly and offers a series of startling answers. From methane to water consumption and rampant deforestation, the film suggests taking every car off the road won't reverse the environmental impact caused by humanity's reliance on animal agriculture.
According to the film, 660 gallons of water are needed to produce a single pound of beef. This sounds outlandish until advocates from the beef industry combat the number with their own absurdly high figure: 441 gallons.
In an editorial dismissing Cowspiracy, Amanda Radke of Beef Magazine, who admits to not even watching the film, claims that the amount of water required to make a T-shirt is over 200 gallons higher. What she doesn't offer is a defense of the idea that people consume a new T-shirt with dinner each evening.
Andersen laughs when I bring up the absurd T-shirt comparison, seeing it as an example of the disconnect consumers face between their desires and reality.
Surprisingly, environmental groups don't want to talk about the impact of animal agriculture any more than the beef industry does. Andersen suggests not-very-subtly that financial interests may be a factor in the silence of organizations like Greenpeace.
When he asks an on-camera representative of the Animal Agriculture Alliance whether the organization donates to environmental groups, she flatly refuses to answer. This becomes a theme. Andersen describes the popular National Resources Defense Council as "kind of clueless" and the Rainforest Action Network as "being very evasive on purpose" to avoid confirming facts its executives "straight-up knew." Andersen found the denial of knowledge by environmental groups to be "across the board." "

After this comes the controversial "Health-issue"
Mark that e.g. the BBC-program "The Truth About Food" is mostly about athletes - meat versus veggies.
The other videos are about mortals as You and me.
That is a big difference - and I would like to present them both.
Again; If You want to learn the truth - Your truth - watch one video per night, make notes, buy some videos - not just to support the video-makers - but also to share the knowledge with your friends.
Compare your results, and You will probably see how complex this question is.
However, You might have extended Your friends life - or Your own.
The question is; "Why pay Big Pharma if You can change Your life by changing Your lifestyle or with a veggie?"

Fat Sick & Nearly Dead
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead is a 2010 American documentary film which follows the 60-day journey of Australian Joe Cross across the United States as he follows a juice fast to regain his health under the care of Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Nutrition Research Foundation's Director of Research.[1] Cross and Robert Mac, co-creators of the film, both serve on the Nutrition Research Foundation's Advisory Board.[2][3] Following his fast and the adoption of aplant-based diet, Cross lost 100 pounds and discontinued all medications.[4][5]
During his road-trip Cross meets Phil Staples, a morbidly obese truck driver from Sheldon, Iowa, in a truck stop in Arizona and inspires him to try juice fasting.[6][7] Reviewers compared it to an infomercial. The film has been credited with doubling the sales of Breville juicers since the documentary launched on Netflix in the US in July 2011.[8]

BBC: The Truth About Food: Episode 1 (Documentary)
Want to know what food really does to your body? Forget the headlines, watch our intriguing investigations with 500 volunteers as we expose the real science behind the food we eat.
What we eat can change our lives. How to Be Healthy follows nine fast- food junkies to an enclosure at a British zoo as they crunch their way through half a ton of raw fruits and vegetables in just 12 days. Join two truckers who have to swallow an unusual pill to get their internal traffic jams moving. Learn how the bacteria in the gut also enjoy our food, and how it can lead to windy side effects.

Now let us examine us, the normal mortals:
Through an examination of the careers of American physician Caldwell Esselstyn and professor of nutritional biochemistry T. Colin Campbell, Forks Over Knives suggests that "most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods." It also provides an overview of the 20-year China-Cornell-Oxford Project that led to Professor Campbell's findings, outlined in his book, The China Study (2005) in which he suggests that coronary disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer can be linked to the Western diet of processed and animal-based foods (including all dairy products).
With regard to describing the nutritional approach as a "whole foods plant-based" rather than "vegan" one in the film, Director Lee Fulkerson (in an interview with Canada's National Post) notes that, " 'Veganism just means anything that doesn't have animal-based products in it. But you can still eat highly processed foods that are vegan,' he says, citing potato chips and french fries as examples. 'You want to use minimally processed things.

Vegucated
Vegucated is a 2011 American documentary film that explores the challenges of converting to a vegan diet. It "follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks."
The director interviewed a number of people to participate in this documentary and chose Brian, who likes to eat meat and eat out; Ellen, a psychiatrist, part-time comedian and single mother; and Tesla, a college student who lives with her family.
In the film Dr.Joel Fuhrman and Professor T. Colin Campbell discuss the benefits of a plant-based diet consisting of whole foods. The film also features Howard Lyman and Stephen R. Kaufman. Kneel Cohn makes a cameo appearance.
The documentary addresses the resistance that some people feel towards vegetarianism and veganism, the disconnect between farm animals and the purchasing of meat, the origins of omnivorism and the ethical, environmental and health benefits of a vegan diet. During the filming, participants visited an abandoned slaughterhouse and investigated the reality of intensive animal farming in the US. Of their own accord, they chose to trespass on a factory farm to see for themselves, and became passionate about their new-found cause.

Food Matters (English - Greek)
This film makes the claim that the over-industrialization of food production is making the nation sicker and sicker, and looks at the proliferation of chemicals added to food touted as “healthy.” The film looks at the relationship between the lack of nutrients that Americans consume and our rising health care costs. Providing a thorough argument, the film gives solutions as well for the problems it presents.
A well-known documentary by Morgan Spurlock, the film makes a simple argument that fast food makes us fat and unhealthy. To prove it, he takes a 30-day challenge where he can only eat food on the McDonalds menu, and he travels around the country to interview experts and regular Americans. If you’re looking for a kick to stop eating fast food, this doc is fantastic medicine.
SUPER SIZE ME - A Dieta do Palhaço - Dublado Português
|
Dans cette vidéo (censurée sur YouTube), durant un mois, le réalisateur américain Morgan Spurlock a mangé McDo, matin, midi et soir. Il a grossi de 13 Kilos et s'est rendu malade très rapidement. Son documentaire décrit les effets de cette consommation toxique. L'idée lui est venue lorsque deux clientes ayant portées plainte contre McDonald aient été déboutées. Il est allé jusqu'au bout de la logique américaine qui combine sédentarité et alimentation trop riche. Il était suivi par plusieurs médecins. Acheter des produits frais et les cuisiner soi-même est la meilleure façon de contrôler son alimentation, car déchiffrer les données nutritives des plats cuisinés nécessitent une attention que la plupart des gens ne prennent pas le temps d'avoir. La logique des nutritionnistes n'est bien entendu pas la même que celle des industriels, car s'ils font des produits moins gras et moins sucrés, ils auront moins de goût et donc ils vendront moins. Les Fast-Foods sont devenus la plaie du monde moderne en terme de santé publique, et si vous aimez vraiment vos enfants, ce que je ne doute pas bien évidemment, ne leur donnez pas à manger cette nourriture addictive et réellement empoisonnante, et tout cela pour le profit d'une poignée d'industriels malveillants. Les Fast-foods, c'est uniquement du business et rien d'autre ! Votre santé ne les préoccupe pas. Cette vidéo, censurée sur Youtube, vous dit tout, sans complaisance mais avec un certain humour, et c'est bien entendu affligeant pour certains secteurs agro-alimentaires et pour ces chaînes de restauration qui y sont associées, d'où la censure...
Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days
Holistic medical doctor Dr. Gabriel Cousens challenges six Americans suffering from diabetes to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, and other items and adopt an entirely organic, raw, vegan diet. The end goal is to cure their disease using raw plant foods. The documentary takes viewers on these peoples’ journeys and captures their medical, physical, and emotional changes on the diet plan. At the end, you’ll have realized the true impact that healthy eating can have on our bodies, not just for our appearance, but also to heal our ailments from the inside out.
Ingredients: The Local Food Movement Takes Root - Trailer
Similar to Food, Inc., this documentary argues that food production needs to change. Filmmaker Robert Bates documents the rise of the local food movement, interviewing farmers and chefs who are passionate about producing local, fresh, healthy, and seasonal food. This film weighs industrial versus local food production, showing that local is the best option.
Fed Up
This is Fed Up! Genetic Engineering, Industrial Agriculture and Sustainable Alternatives. Fed Up was released in 2002 by Wholesome Goodness Productions. More than a decade later, it still remains relevant. Most of the statistics are worse now and we are starting to see the rise of insect resistance to plants engineered to produce their own pesticides. There is still woefully little research available on long term ingestion of GMO foods and most foods in the US still are not labeled.
Description: Using hilarious and disturbing archival footage (from archive.org) and featuring interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials and activists, FED UP! presents an entertaining, informative and compelling overview of our current food production system from the Green Revolution to the Biotech Revolution and what we can do about it. FED UP! explores the unintentional effects of pesticides, the resistance of biotechnology companies to food labeling and the links between government officials and major biotechnology and chemical companies.
FED UP! answers many questions regarding genetic engineering, the Green Revolution, genetic pollution and modern pesticides through interviews with Marc Lappé and Britt Bailey from the Center for Ethics and Toxics, Peter Rosset and Anuradha Mittal from Food First, Vandana Shiva from the Research Center for Science, Technology and Ecology, Ignacio Chapela from UC Berkeley's Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, Martina McGloughlin, Director of UC Davis' Biotechnology Program and many others.FED UP! also introduces us to local Bay Area organic farmers from Purisima Greens Farm and Live Power Community Farm, presenting community supported agriculture and small- scale organic farming as real alternatives to agribusiness and industrial food.

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead - Portuguese subtexts
100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.
With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long- term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.
While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, it's at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well.
What emerges is nothing short of amazing -- an inspiring tale of healing and human connection.
Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them is themselves.

DANGERS OF FOOD PROCESSING THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE US FAT
Dying to Have Known
In Dying To Have Known, filmmaker Steve Kroschel went on a 52-day journey to find evidence to the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy - a long-suppressed natural cancer cure.
His travels take him across both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, from upstate New York to San Diego to Alaska, from Japan and Holland to Spain and Mexico.
In the end, he presents the testimonies of patients, scientists, surgeons and nutritionists who testify to the therapy's efficacy in curing cancer and other degenerative diseases, and presents the hard scientific proof to back up their claims.
You will hear from a Japanese medical school professor who cured himself of liver cancer over 15 years ago, a lymphoma patient who was diagnosed as terminal over 50 years ago as well as noted critics of this world-renowned healing method who dismiss it out of hand as pure quackery.
So the question that remains is, Why is this powerful curative therapy still suppressed, more than 75 years after it was clearly proven to cure degenerative disease? The viewers are left to decide for themselves.

The Beautiful Truth
Raised on a wildlife reserve in Alaska, 15-year old Garrett is fascinated by a book written by Dr. Max Gerson that shows a direct link between diet and a cure for cancer – that Garrett’s mom sadly died of recently. Garrett & his dad embark on a cross-country road trip to investigate The Gerson Therapy.
Travel with Garrett to meet scientists, doctors and cancer survivors who reveal why it is in the best interest of the multi-billion dollar medical industry to dismiss the notion of alternative and natural cures – and how they cure cancer with The Gerson Therapy that Max Gerson (and now his daughter Charlotte Gerson) teach – low in fat, salt, protein and high in vegan raw foods,….

Fresh
I’ll use the words of the producers:
“Fresh celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet.”
Let’s celebrate together by watching Fresh the raw food documentary movie!

The Drugging Of Our Children
In the absence of any objective medical tests to determine who has ADD or ADHD, doctors rely in part on standardized assessments and the impressions of teachers and guardians while the they administer leave little room for other causes or aggravating factors, such as diet, or environment. Hence, diagnosing a child or adolescent with ADD or ADHD is often the outcome, although no organic basis for either disease has yet to be clinically proven. Psychiatrists may then prescribe psychotropic drugs for the children without first without making it clear to parents that these medications can have severe side-effects including insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, psychotic symptoms and even potentially fatal adverse reactions, such as cardiac arrhythmia. And yet, despite these dangers, many school systems actually work with government agencies to force parents to drug their children, threatening those who refuse with the prospect of having their children taken from the home unless they cooperate.
