3 documentary films you must see in my opinion are “Food Matters”, “Forks Over Knives”, and “Food Inc”. Literally every person that I know, including myself, who have seen these films have been inspired to change the way they spend their money and what they put into their bodies. Consequently they are living happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives. If you are like me you will probably feel like you’ve been treated by those motivated by pure profit as nothing more than a rag doll just tossed around and respected about as much as they respect their workers and farm animals. I do not want to make those people rich anymore at the expense of my income, health, and the planet in which I live. We need to become aware (watch those documentaries) then pay the awareness forward so more people take personal responsibility for their health and spend their money differently.

Industry will follow the money they always have and always will. If we want industry to change then first WE must change.

I would absolutely love to hear what you think and feel after watching the three films I recommended. Please by all means reach out to me on my Facebook.

P.S. A transcribed Excerpt from “Food Matters”

I worked with a lady once who was suicidally depressed. She lived at home with her family. She was in her fifties. She spent all day sitting in a corner facing the corner. She wouldn’t talk to anyone, eat with anyone, she was totally un communicative. She was under the care of a psychiatrist as she should be. The psychiatrist had her on a variety of medications which you would expect. The family was wondering about her nutrition. I mentioned to them about Dr Hoffers work with niacin, a naturally occurring vitamin in nature, and they wondered how much she needed to take. At 11,500 mg of niacin a day she was sitting at the table talking to them like nothing had happened. So they went to the psychiatrist and showed the psychiatrist this recovered person. The psychiatrist said wellllll I don’t think you should take all that niacin it might be harmful. So they stopped giving her the niacin and she was back in the corner. There is not one death from niacin per year on average. There have been one or two attributed to niacin over the last 15 or 20 years. But there is not even one death per year from niacin. How many people per year who are suicidally depressed go and end their lives? – Andrew W. Saul Ph.D.

Doctor Saul gos on to say…

Two handfuls of cashews give you the therapeutic equivalent of a prescription dose of Prozac. If you’re depressed the first thing you can do is know that its ok to be depressed. If you’re malnourished you should be depressed so don’t do that anymore. Go and eat good food.
