Ok, so I told myself that I wouldn’t get into movie reviews in my blog, but I saw this outstandingly important documentary/movie called Food Matters, and it is a documentary that everyone needs to see! I definitely wouldn’t call this a horror movie, but it is horrible what we seem to be doing to ourselves and the food that we put into our bodies(most of us). This documentary goes into what we are doing wrong as a people, what some of us are doing right, and the effect of our actions.
“Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine, And Thy Medicine Be Thy Food.” a statement made by Hippocra
tes, the father of modern medicine. What Hippocrates seemed to mean was eat nutritionally sound foods and your body will take care of itself, and that is the whole point of this film, when properly maintained by providing it with the proper fuel the human body will run without fault and combat most disease. Now this film makes no illusion that when catastrophic disaster strikes the body that medication is not required, all of the professional physicians and nutritionists and naturopaths admit that is necessary for medicinal intervention.
This film presents commentary from a wide variety of professional physicians, nutritionists, naturopaths, professors, authors, and other authorities; Ian Brighthope, Jerome Burne, Charlotte Gerson, Dan Rodgers, Andrew W. Saul, David Wolfe, Victor Zeines.
This is a film about your body and what you put in it, it’s about how we are destroying the soil and what grows out of it, it’s about how all of the has affected you and is affecting you, and what we all can do about it. This is not something that you want to miss!
