if i hadn't read #anatomyofanepidemic and learned about the #ADA (check this out: https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/coca-cola-stopped-sponsoring-the-academy-of-nutrition-and-dietetics/), watched movies like #cowspiracy and #seaspiracy and #foodchoices, i would be utterly shocked by this.

sadly, i'm not.

@pcfascist @FartsMusically @nm I would also like to add #Seaspiracy if you feel like watching a movie about the impact eating fish has on the environment.

After watching #WhatTheHealth and #Cowspiracy, I made some time to check out a few other similar movies.

I first saw #Seaspiracy, and the message was very clear to me...

If you don't eat, but like and admire the intelligence of:
-#Whales 🐳
-#Dolphins 🐬
-#Sharks 🦈
and
-#Octopuses 🐙 (side note, #TeamOctopuses! 🐙🦑),

Then you shouldn't be eating #fish of any kind, and you should very well adopt a #vegan / #PlantBasedDiet. 🐟🌱🐠

Directed by Ali Tabrizi and available on Netflix, it has the same style as the previous films directed by Kip Andersen, so that could be seen as either a +ve or a -ve, depending on your bias. I thoroughly enjoyed it, finding the whale hunt and the subsequent whaler interview particularly powerful.

It is rated well on #imdb and is rated 'fresh' on #RottenTomatoes.

The second film I saw was #ForksOverKnives. This I found to be a much better film overall in presenting the history, science and research in benefit to a whole foods plant based diet. Sadly, I feel like the way it was filmed will put some people off (some -ve reviews talk about it being slow/boring (c.f. What The Health being over the top)). I personally didn't feel that. In fact, I am currently watching the Forks Over Knives Extended Interviews film, because I want to know more! It is the kind of film I wish someone recommended to me when it came out! It's the scientist in me talking. 🧑‍🔬

By far the biggest threat is becoming accidentally captured in fishing equipment and nets, which kills an estimated 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises a year 🐋

Dolphins and Whales have similar personality traits to humans and primates, despite evolving in completely different environments 🐬

I recently watched 2 (dare I call them) #vegan films, even if not advertised as such:

1st: What The Health
2nd: Cowspiracy

Both directed by Kip Andersen, and both streaming on Netflix but also available to buy from their official website. They are rated decently on #imdb but theres not much critic reviews on #RottenTomatoes.

I thoroughly liked both of them (naturally that comes with my bias - #vegans can relate!). I believe people have criticized them for inaccuracies though I think that applies to only a few stats or facts cited.

I am not sure how I feel about the "trying to get an interview and got declined/didn't answer my questions" style of documenting, but I guess it ads to the dramatic effect. In particular, I wonder what was going on with the whole #Greenpeace thing? I wonder if he ever got to speak with them?

I would love to see a modern reviewing of them, especially Cowspiracy as it is going on to nearly 10 years old. How have the numbers changed since then? For e.g., do cows need less or more water? What The Health (about 6 years old) would also be interesting in that regard as there would be lots of scientific articles published since then commenting on the many benefits of a #wfpb style of diet.

My next viewing will be (you guessed it) Seaspiracy, and then I am keen to see many more such films. Keen to hear additional recommendations.

@fph Spannende, klare Analyse zum MSC-Siegel: Es definiert Mindeststandards, die möglichst schnell global umgesetzt werden sollen. #Seaspiracy-Netflix-Doku zum Trotz: MSC-Siegel ist meilenweit besser als kein Siegel. Erst 10 bis 15% des globalen Fischs ist MSC-zertifiziert.
