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.

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. 🧑‍🔬

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.

In October, the World Meteorological Organization reported that the atmospheric concentration of all the main greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide – had reached record highs. WMO head Prof Petteri Taalas said: “We are heading in the wrong direction.”

Ich habe gerade #Seaspiracy gesehen. Dieser Film gehört mit #Cowspiracy und David Attenboroughs: A Life on Our Planet zu den Dokumentationen, die jeder Politiker einmal im Monat schauen sollte.

Gerade #seaspiracy geschaut. Wer sich mit dem Thema Fischfang etc noch nie groß beschäftigt hat, für den bestimmt sehr interessant.
Doku sehr standardmäßig aufgebaut und an #cowspiracy wohl angelehnt;-)
Für mich persönlich nix neues und wie zu erwarten gab es keine indigenen Perspektiven auf nachhaltigen Fischfang. Der natürlich nie global funktionieren kann aber Beispiele wie es geht wären schön gewesen.
Mit Sea Shepherd hab ich auch so meine Probleme, die kamen öfters vor.
Ein Interview mit einem Menschen eines Instituts die das Label "Dolphin safe" vergeben, war das absurdeste was ich jemals gesehen hab. War schon Loriotlevel.
Also wer einen ersten Einblick braucht in das Thema, dafür ist der Film auf jedenfall zu empfehlen

"'Ik dacht dat het leven geen zin meer had als ik veganist zou worden'"

"In het controversiële Cowspiracy liet filmmaker Kip Andersen zien hoe slecht vlees eten is voor het milieu. In zijn nieuwe film What the Health toont hij dat het ook desastreus is voor je gezondheid. ‘Ik heb het gevoel dat de verandering snel kan gaan.’"
